Port Access Configuration
Communication port access is configured in BESTCOMSPlus on the Port Access Setup tab (Figure 156)
of the Device Security Setup area. To configure communication port access, perform the following steps.
1. In the BESTCOMSPlus settings explorer, select Port Access Setup. This selection is located
under General Settings, Device Security Setup. When prompted, enter a username of “A” and a
password of “A” and log on. This factory-default username and password allows administrator-
level access. It is highly recommended that this factory-default password be changed immediately
to prevent undesired access.
2. Highlight the desired communication port in the port list A .
3. Select the unsecured access level B for the port.
4. Select the secured access level C for the port.
5. Save the configuration by clicking the Save port button D .
6. Open the Communication menu, and click Upload Security to Device.
7. BESTCOMSPlus ® notifies you when the security upload is successful.
