Security

password protection are available. Each level is described in the following paragraphs.

OEM Access. This password level allows access to all settings. The default, OEM-access password
is OEM.

Settings Access. This password level allows all except uploading of firmware and clearing of device
event log. The default, settings-access password is SET.

Operator Access. The default, operator-access password is OP. This password level allows all
settings to be read and allows changes to be made to the following:

Changing Passwords

Passwords can be changed only after communication between the PC and DGC-2020ES is established.
Changes to passwords are made through the Device Security Setup screen. Use the Settings Explorer in
BESTCOMSPlus to open the General Settings, Device Security Setup screen.

The content of the Device Security Setup screen depends on the password level used when accessing
the screen. For example, someone logged in with a settings-access password will be able to change only
the settings-access and operator-access passwords - not the OEM-access password.

The BESTCOMSPlus Device Security Setup screen is illustrated in Figure 85. All three access levels are
shown.

A password is changed by clicking on the access level, entering the new password, and then clicking on
the Save Password button. DGC-2020ES passwords are case sensitive.

Saving Passwords in a DGC-2020ES Settings File

The passwords can be modified while BESTCOMSPlus is connected to a DGC-2020ES. The settings
from the BESTCOMSPlus session can then be saved into a settings file. The settings file will contain the
new passwords. Also, the passwords in a settings file can be modified off line, saved with the file, and
then later loaded into a DGC-2020ES.

Saving Passwords to a Settings File when On Line.
