Security


Pass Control

The Setup web pages, the CLI (command line interface) and the FTP server all require a password to prevent unauthorized users from changing a unit's configuration. At the time of manufacture, the password is set to "ADMINISTRATOR" but Dataradio strongly suggests that the password be changed as units are installed.

User ID

Enter a string of any letters or numbers of at least 1 and not exceeding 15 characters
The User Name entry is currently not and access-limiting factor. It only serves to identify the person gaining access. User name may be required by future versions

Old Password

For initial installation, enter the default password ADMINISTRATOR (all upper case letters). For subsequent access, use the password that you will have configured.

New Password

Enter a string of any letters or numbers of at least 8 and not exceeding 15 characters
CAUTION: Do not lose the new password or you will not be able to gain access to the unit; you will need to contact Dataradio for support (detailed in section 1.3 or the User Manual).

New Password (confirm)

Re-enter the new password string

Encryption

Disabled, Enabled (Default)

Encryption Pass Phrase

String of characters used to create a 128-bit AES encryption key. The passphrase can be up to 160 characters long. Using a length of at least 128 characters should provide an adequate security level for most users.
A good passphrase mixes alphabetic and numeric characters, and avoids simple prose and simple names.

Encryption Key

All units in a network must have the same key.
