3.4 Password protection
The menu structure contains three levels of access. The level of access that is enabled
determines which of the relay’s settings can be changed and is
controlled by entry of two different passwords. The levels of access are summarised
in Table 2.

Table 2
Each of the two passwords are 4 characters of upper case text. The factory default
for both passwords is AAAA. Each password is user-changeable once it has been
correctly entered. Entry of the password is achieved either by a prompt when a
setting change is attempted, or by moving to the ‘Password’ cell in the ‘System data’
column of the menu. The level of access is independently enabled for each interface,
that is to say if level 2 access is enabled for the rear communication port, the front
panel access will remain at level 0 unless the relevant password is entered at the front
panel. The access level enabled by the password entry will time-out independently
for each interface after a period of inactivity and revert to the default level. If the
passwords are lost an emergency password can be supplied - contact ALSTOM with
