4.6.3 Change Secured Settings
To be able to activate some security settings it is required that someone physically confirms
the changes on the
Elise3. This is a security feature due to the remote access (LAN or VPN)
ability on the Elise3. The Elise3 is often locked in some kind of secured area that only
approved users have access to (such as the server room).
When clicking the “Activate” button for a secured setting the web user interface will prompt
the user to confirm the secured change by pressing the Mode button on the module. The
Elise3’s Mode button LED indicates that a confirmation is needed with a quick flashing blue
light .
1 Push the Mode button. The Mode button LED stops f
lashing and indicates that
confirmation has been done with fixed yellow light on the status LED and fixed blue
light on the mode button.

open for 10 minutes after the Mode button
has been pressed or until the user manually exits the mode by clicking the Mode
button once more.
4.6.4 Clock Synchronization and Time Settings
The clock in different Elise3 can be set from t
he web browser, A-bus (i.e. Central Unit in
System 900) or a time server. To be able to synchronize the clocks in different Elise3
modules a time server has to be used. Depending on software application and license, an
Elise3 can be used as time server. An external time server supporting the Network Time
Protocol (NTP) can also be used. Normally the Elise3 used as time server synchronizes with
an external time server and then all other Elise3 modules use that Elise3 as the time server.
To select time source do as follows:
1 Enter “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin” (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Elise3)in a
web
browser to access the Advanced Administration page.
2 Click “Settings” in
the left menu.
3 Select time source to be used.
4 Click “Activate”.
