Security considerations
Before moving on to the mobile applications and accessing the Gateway from outside your firewall it is
now time to consider security.
While the Gateway makes it easier to connect to, control, or configure your UPB network at a distance
it also could allow others –maybe those you don’t want to have access – into your UPB installation. To
prevent this, the Gateway implements a user and password system along with assigning to valid users
what level of access they have.
To configure users you must use UPStart. If you are running remote applications it is necessary to
terminate them or disconnect from the Gateway and then start UPStart. Once connected to the
Gateway, press the “Users” button in the “PulseWorx Gateway” ribbon category.
As you can see the Gateway can store information for up to four users. Usernames and password can
be up to 16 characters in length. While there are few limitations on the characters used in the
usernames or password commas are not allowed - it would be a very good idea to stick to the usual
characters easily entered from your keyboard. Usernames and password are case sensitive.
In addition to the username and password each user has a number of abilities. These are:
Modify Users
Can this user read and update the user table itself?
Why enable this? One user must have this enabled or there would be no ability to add users or change
passwords. If you lose this username or password you will have to reset the Gateway so write down
the username and password and save it in a safe place!
Why not enable this? Only one user really needs to have this ability. Think of it as the “administrator”.
