INSTALLATION ORBAN Model 8400
your 8400 with the ADMIN passcode. The longer a passcode is, the more secure it is.
Moreover, the most secure passcodes use a random combination of letters and numbers.
Security and Orban’s PC Remote Application
Any passcodes set on the 8400 will allow the PC Remote application to connect via di-
rect, modem and Ethernet connections at the level authorized by the passcode.
1. If no Passcodes are assigned to 8400 except the ADMIN default Pass-
code:
When you attempt a connection to the 8400 via Direct, Modem, and Ethernet
connections, the “Enter Passcode Screen” will prompt you to enter a Passcode.
Type in ADMIN from your keyboard. This will allow you full access to the
8400 via the PC Remote.
To ensure that your 8400 is fully protected, create a new passcode that has
All
Screens
access. Then delete the ADMIN passcode.
See step 3 on page 2-41 for instructions on how to create a new passcode and
step (4.C) on page 2-42 for instructions on how to delete a passcode.
2. Us
ing passcodes to end PC Remote connections from the 8400 front
panel:
If you try to access an 8400 from its front panel while a remote connection ex-
ists, a message will appear asking you whether you want to interrupt the re-
mote connection. If you choose to interrupt the connection, the “Enter Pass-
code Screen” will appear. Only an
All Screens passcode will cause the remote
connection to disconnect. The 8400 ignores passcodes with lower access lev-
els.
Doing a Software Update to an 8400 with Version 2.1 or Higher Al-
ready Installed:
The following information applies to updates done on 8400s that already have multi-
level security, meaning 8400s with version 2.1 or higher software.
When you establish a connection between the PC and the 8400 to do an update, a prompt
will appear during the update process asking you for a passcode. You can only do an up-
date via a passcode with
All Screens privileges. All other Passcodes will yield an “Invalid
Passcode” message.
This prevents a hacker from interrupting programming by connecting to
your 8400 and doing an unauthorized software update.
