Security-Related Messages
Enter [Operation / Self-Supervision / Messages] »Messages« to access the list of Self-
Supervision Messages. This is a special Recorder that collects device-internal messages of
various types, including security-related events. It is recommended to check these entries
from time to time.
2.13.1 Password
The WIC1 supports an access password, that is required for any changes to the device
settings (via DiggiMEC and Smart view).
The menu item [Device Para / Security / Password] allows for setting an individual password.
It is also possible to set it to an empty/blank text, and in this case the password query
is skipped.
Up to four digits (i. e. only “0”...“9” are allowed for each position) are allowed for the
password. The factory default is: »1234«
On the DiggiMEC panel, the password is entered the same way as any numerical setting
value, i. e. via navigation keys “◀” (Left), “▶” (Right) for the position (= selection of the
position/digit within the password) and “▲” (Up), “▼” (Down) for increasing/decreasing the
digit. The Enter key »↵« conrms the entered password. A Smart view user enters the
password simply via the PC keyboard.
Password Forgotten
By pressing the »✕« key during a cold restart a reset dialog is launched, see also ╚═▷
“3.9.1.2 Special Keys During Power-on”. It allows for resetting all settings, including
password, to the respective default.
This is the same functionality as the Direct Control [Service / General] »Factory Reset«, see
╚═▷ “2.12 Reset to Factory Defaults”.
