11.1.3 Resetting Security

There is a way to remove all security settings from the server in the event that

Security Manager to enable/disable security or manage accounts. If you

installed LoggerNet in the default directories, there will be a file named

security2 in the C:\Campbellsci\LoggerNet\sys\bin directory. Simply delete

this file.

Note that deleting this file deletes all account information and removes all

security restrictions in LoggerNet. If you wish to enable security again, all

accounts must be recreated.

The Security Manager’s Edit | Allow Remote Task Management menu item

must be enabled in order for the Task Master to be administered remotely. See

Section 9.1.3, Remote Administration of the Task Master, for more

information.

The LoggerNet Admin Hole Monitor Utility is used to monitor the hole

collection activity for the dataloggers in a LoggerNet network.

datalogger. Holes can occur if the server is unable to collect data from a

datalogger because of communication failure, or if packets sent to the server

from the datalogger are out of order because of a marginal communications
