Passwords and Access
The XM Serial Configuration Utility includes a function for creating and
managing passwords for Administrator and Maintenance-level access.
Upon initial login, the following dialog box appears.
An Administrator password may be verified with re-entry. Once established, the
Administrator account may be used to also manage the Maintenance account as
well as fully edit and load configurations to a module.
Configurations and Commands
Choosing the Configure option from the main dialog box begins either Online
Configuration or Offline Configuration, depending on the module’s connection
status.
Online Configuration
If the computer is connected to a module, as indicated by a “closed” connector
icon in the main dialog box, the Utility immediately uploads the current
configuration from the module and then open the editor appropriate for the type
of module connected.
Offline Configuration
If the computer is not connected to a module, as indicated by an ‘open’ connector
icon in the main dialog box, the Utility displays a dialog box showing all
supported XM modules. Select the desired module and then click OK to begin
configuration.
IMPORTANT The password function is optional, but once a password is defined for either
the Administrator or Maintenance accounts, the utility requires that
password to configure an XM-124 module.
