5.3 Security
The VEP-A10-P has two levels of protection against unauthorized access. For connection via Ethernet or
WiFi, a password of at least 8 characters must be used. After connection, a four digit PIN is used to control
the access level.
5.3.1 WiFi and Ethernet Authentication
A password is used to authenticate access over Ethernet or WiFi connection when using Xtralis VSC.
The password is set in the General options tab for the VEP-A10-P detector, and applies to both Ethernet and
WiFi access. Refer to Section 5.5.3 on page 61 and Section 5.5.4 on page 63 for further information. When
creating connection profiles in Xtralis VSC, the same password must be entered. Refer to Section 5.1.2 on
page 49 for further information.
The password must conform to the following rules:
l 8 or more characters.
l Contains one or more numeric characters.
l Contains both upper case and lower case characters.
5.3.2 Access Control
When accessing the VEP-A10-P detector via Xtralis VSC, user functionality is initially limited. For additional
privileges, the user must log in to the detector using an 4 digit numeric PIN code. In Xtralis VSC, select Logon
from the Connection menu and enter the PIN.
User Level Access Level Functional Authorization
USR Low This is the USER or the OPERATOR level. The user can view
the event log and change the date and time. They can also
perform selected zone control functions.
ADM High At the ADMINISTRATOR level access is available to most
functions. These include setting alarm thresholds, normalizing
air flows, reset filter, and defining the relay configuration.
DST Absolute The DISTRIBUTOR level allows unlimited access to all the
system commands and parameters.
Table5-1: User Access Levels
The default PIN for each level of user is set at the factory. The distributor has access to the PINs for each
level. PIN numbers are disclosed to authorized personnel attending accredited training courses.
After logging in the user has the option to change the default PIN. To guard against unauthorized access, if
someone enters an incorrect PIN number three times they will not be allowed another attempt for ten minutes.
