Setting Description
Root Administrator
Settings
Use this function to change the password associated with the system root
user account.
HMI Supervisor
Settings
HMI supervisors are allowed full privileges to access to all configuration,
runtime, operation and system administration screens in the D400 HMI. One
default supervisor account with the username supervisor is always
available on the D400. You can set the password of this account using the
D400 configuration utility. This setting is not available if you are using
remote authentication mode.
Pass-Through
Authentication
Use this function to enable or disable pass-through authentication. When
authentication is enabled, a valid username and password is required to
access client applications through pass-through ports. Enabled by default.
Administrator Group
Users
Use this function to create administrator-level users (if you are using local
authentication mode) and to change details associated with existing
administrator user accounts.
Setting Description
Current Settings Use this function to view the current state of the D400 network settings.
Enable IP Forwarding Use this function to allow a device on the D400's first network interface
(eth0) to communicate with devices coming in on a second network
interface (eth1) or a dial up connection. This configuration is only possible if
the D400 has two Ethernet interfaces and/or uses PPP dial-in.
Note: You cannot enable this feature when the D400 firewall is enabled.
Enable ICMP Echo Use this function to enable the ICMP echo (ping) feature which helps secure
and test the D400. By default the ICMP is disabled, so that the D400 cannot
be pinged on any interface.
ICMP can be enabled by the administrator.
Configure Machine
Host Name
Use this function to assign a (host) name to the D400 unit. Within the
network that the D400 is connected to, the name must be unique to this
D400. The name can only contain alphanumeric characters (- [hyphen] is
supported); e.g., D400_B or D400_WestLondon.
