MultiTrode MultiSmart - Accessing Multismart Without a Security Key

MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
11.2.3 Accessing the MultiSmart with a Security Key
The Security key must already be registered by the Administrator (see Section 11.2.2).
• Try to access a secure screen to display the ‘Login’ screen
• Place the Security Key on the reader until the menus are accessed
• If an unregistered Security key is read, the screen does not change
• If an invalid PIN is manually entered, an Access Denied message is displayed
NOTE:
It is recommended that the Administrator maintains a record of all Security Key PINs registered. In the
event the Security Key reader fails, a PIN can be manually entered via the key pad.
NOTE:
The Security Key must make firm contact with the outer ring of the reader before it can read the key.
11.3 Accessing MultiSmart Without a Security Key
With security enabled, it is possible for an on-site operator to log into the MultiSmart without a security key
(iButton or card).
There is an Lcd Login Override tag which can be set from SCADA. When this tag is set to true from SCADA,
an on-site operator is able to access the unit without prompting to login. This tag is cleared back to zero and
login is restricted when:
• The user navigates back to the main screen or
• The screen saver kicks in or
• The Login Override tag is manually reset to zero from SCADA.
