Step 11 To disable a DHCP server running on the secondary Ethernet port (Interface 2): Under DHCPDv4

Configuring the system passphrase
All EC-Net platforms have a system passphrase used to protect and encrypt the system information in the plat-
form’s file systems. Using the Platform Administration view or runing through the Commissioning Wizard, you
can set up this passphrase.
Prerequisites: You are stepping through the Commissioning Wizard. You know the controller’s current
passphrase.
Step 1 To set up a new passphrase, enter the default Current Passphrase for the controller.
Step 2 Enter the New Passphrase and confirm it.
Create a strong passphrase with a minimum of 10 characters including: at least one uppercase char-
acter, at least one lowercase character, and at least one digit. Entry characters display only as aster-
isks (*). An error popup window reminds you if you attempt to enter a passphrase that does not meet
the minimum rules:
• Use both upper and lower case.
• Include numeric digits (a minimum of one).
• Include special characters.
• Don’t use dictionary words.
• Don’t use company name.
• Don’t make the passphrase the same as the user name.
• Don’t use common numbers like telephone, address, birthday, and so on.
Step 3 Make a note of the new passphrase and guard it carefully!
CAUTION: If you lose the system passphrase, you will lose access to the controller’s encrypted data.
You can change the system passphrase using the Platform Administration tool.
Step 4 Click Next to continue.
The Create a new platform user account window opens.
