3.9 ACCESS SECURITY
Upon receipt of a
TRACERCO
PED the DoseVision software should be installed on a nominated
“Administrator” PC.
The
TRACERCO
PED is supplied without password protection.
When a
TRACERCO
PED that is not password protected is in the dock, a password may be set
in the
TRACERCO
PED using the Set Admin Password button. There is an option in the Set
Administrator Password dialog to select previously used passwords from a drop-down list.
This allows a quick set up process when several
TRACERCO
PEDs are in operation.
User names are not associated with the password. The password is held in the
TRACERCO
PED
and applies whichever PC the
TRACERCO
PED is connected to.
Subsequent connection of password protected TRACERCO PEDs to the Administrator PC will not
require password entry as the password will be cached on the PC. Access security for
TRACERCO
PEDs on the Administrators PC is effectively provided by the PC Windows login.
Hint: The dose history data is normally downloaded to a folder in application data, which is visible
only to the user who first runs DoseVision on the PC. If wider access is required for the dose
history data the administrator can choose to change the data folder to a more public one,
e.g. a folder within shared docs. See section 3.6.6 for changing the data storage folder.
If a
TRACERCO
PED that has had a password applied is connected to a different PC
(with DoseVision installed) the password will be required to gain access to administrator
level functions. User level functions can still be freely accessed. Users level access is
restricted to the following functions:
• Transferring and viewing current data
• Viewing old data for the assigned user that is stored on the PC
• Changing the data storage folder
• Exporting data
• Changing the data logging mode
• Setting the time zone
• Changing the
TRACERCO
PED measurement units
Administrator level access to a
TRACERCO
PED can be acquired on any PC by clicking the Get
Administrator Access button and giving the password. Once the password has been given for a
particular
TRACERCO
PED, it is not necessary to re-enter it in the future as the password is cached
on the PC.
It is possible to view the password on a docked
TRACERCO
PED by clicking the “Show Admin
Password” button on the advanced tab. This requires administrator level access and may be used
when the user of a different PC requires administrator access and the password has been
forgotten.
In the unlikely circumstances of the administrator PC losing the cached password, Tracerco can
provide a pass code that will allow the administrator to read the
TRACERCO
PED password. Click
on the Get Forgotten Password button and follow the instructions.
