When you communicate with the relay at the Access Level 0 = prompt, you
are in security Access Level 0. You cannot control relay functions at this level.
Higher access levels are password protected and allow increased control over
relay operation. For more information on access levels and password
protection, see Changing the Default Passwords: Terminal.
Changing the Default Passwords
It is extremely important that you change the factory default passwords
programmed in the relay. Setting unique passwords for the relay access levels
increases the security of your substation and the power system.
NOTE: Perform the password-
change steps described in Changing
the Default Passwords: Terminal.
This subsection begins with information on the access level/password system
in the relay and includes an example of changing the default passwords.
Access Levels
Access levels control whether you can perform different operations within the
relay. These security levels are labeled 0, 1, B, P, A, O, 2, and C. Figure 10.5
presents an overview of the general access level structure in the relay.
Figure 10.5 Access Level Structure
Access Level 0 is the least secure and most limited access level, and Access
Level 2 is the most secure level at which you have total relay functionality.
(Access Level C is reserved for SEL factory operations. Only go to Access
Level C to change the Level C password or under the direction of an SEL
employee.) For example, from Access Level 1, you can view settings but you
cannot change settings.
Table 10.3 lists access levels and operator functions for the relay.
