Characteristics of strong passwords
■ Passwords must not contain the user’s account
name or parts of the user’s full name that exceed
two consecutive characters.
■ Passwords must be at least eight characters in
length.
■ Passwords must contain characters from at least
three of the following four categories:
– English uppercase alphabetic characters
(A through Z)
– English lowercase alphabetic characters
(a through z)
– Numeric characters (0 through 9)
– Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
Examples of weak passwords

■ UHXW13SF contains no lower case letter.
■ uxxxxx7F contains the same character more than
four times.
■ x12useridF contains a substring of the user ID
longer than four characters.
Wireless connectivity If the meter is equipped with WLAN functionality:
Wireless connectivity allows the meter to send data (test
results, patient IDs, operator IDs, etc.) to the data man-
agement system without the need to return the meter to
the base unit. This feature must be configured by the
system administrator. Observe the guidelines of your
facility for using wireless local area network connections.
For information about how to temporarily enable or disa-
ble this function, see page 36. For a description of the
Accu-Chek Inform II meter’s ability to connect to Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLAN, Wi-Fi), see appendix B.
