Other Functions
This section describes the functions of the PowerMonitor™ 5000 unit. Most 
functions require you to configure set-up parameters to align the unit with your 
installation and your application requirements. The set-up parameters are listed 
by name and described in this section. You can view set-up parameters by using 
the PowerMonitor 5000 web page, and when logged in to an Admin account, 
make changes to the setup. Set-up parameters are also accessible by using 
communication. 
See the PowerMonitor 5000 Unit Data Tables
 in Appendix A for additional 
information on setup parameters including the following:
• Range of valid values
• Default values
•Data type
Set-up parameters can be found in data tables with names beginning with 
‘Configuration’, for instance Configuration.Metering_Basic.
Security
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit protects access against unauthorized set-up 
changes through an account-based security system.
With security disabled, any application or web page user effectively has admin 
privileges. We do not recommend operating the unit with security that is disabled 
except during evaluation, testing, or initial setup.
See Configure Initial Security
 on page 56 for the procedure to enable security if 
desired and create one or more Admin class accounts for configuration access 
from the Ethernet network.
