Changing the Default Passwords
Figure 4.5 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 4.3 lists access levels and operator functions for the SEL-421.
The SEL-421 performs command interpretation and execution according to
your validated access level. Each access level has a password that the relay
must verify before you can control the relay at that level. Tabl e 4 . 4 lists the
access level commands with corresponding passwords.
