7. User Maintenance and Passwords
7.1. Web Passwords
The 2300 Controller is password protected for web access, and PIN protected by the front
panel. Users are added, changed or deleted from the Setup/User Maintenance selection
menu. Each user name must be unique in the system and can contain letters or numbers. The
password may only contain letters or numbers, and a PIN may be added at this point for front
panel access. User access to the 2300 is logged, allowing traceability of changes made to the
controller by username and by time.
There are three different access levels provided by the AquaMetrix 2300:
1. Administrator – Can view all reports, add, change or delete Sensors, change system
settings, and add or delete Users.
2. Editor – Can view all reports, change Set Points for Sensor Relays, Acknowledge
Alarms and Zero Summarizer Counters
3. User – Can view all reports and logs but cannot change any configuration or
Acknowledge Alarms or Zero counters
By default, there is one user in the system, named admin who has the Administrator access
level. During first-time startup, the administrator is asked for a new default password for this
user.
At any time, an Administrator may add additional users to the system and assign any of the
above access levels. Although an Administrator creates each user and their password, each
user is able to subsequently change their individual password.
Note that web users will be logged out automatically after a specified interval, selected from
the Setup>System Configuration>Browser Settings menu.
NOTE: It is recommended that the admin password be changed from the default value to a
different password to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
7.2. Front Panel Passcodes and LCD Configuration
Passcodes allow changes to the AquaMetrix 2300 from the front panel to be restricted to only
those users who can authenticate the passcode. Normally, no passcodes are required. This
configuration is changed from the browser setup menu. After accessing the Setup menu,
enter the System Configuration Menu, followed by the LCD Configuration option. This is
shown below in Figure 21.
The checkbox labeled Require Password on LCD? should be checked and the change
submitted. After passcodes are enabled, a different numeric passcode can be entered for each
user in the User Maintenance Setup menu. All changes are logged into the System Access
log. If the passcodes are unique for each user, the user name performing the operation will
also be logged.
There are other menu locations where a passcode is always required; these are for factory
setup only. Contact Water Analytics Support for help.
