How to Use Data Logger Security Codes

安全码是最古老的获得方法data logger. They can effectively prevent innocent tinkering and discourage wannabe hackers—actions that could potentially wreak havoc on the integrity of your data. In this article, I’ll discuss the different security codes and how to use them to secure your data and settings.

Up to three levels of data logger security can be set. For a CR1000 or newer data logger, valid security codes are 1 through 65535. (0 is no security.) We recommend that you use a unique code for each of the three levels.

使用银行作为类比，3级是银行的前门;如果它被锁定，没有钥匙没有人进入。2级是您可以访问某些信息但并非所有信息的接收区域。1级是拱顶;使用正确的拱顶组合，您可以访问所有内容。

在可以设置级别2（接收区域）之前必须设置1级（Vault），并且必须在设置级别3（前门）之前设置级别2。如果一个电平设置为0，则任何大于它的级别也将被设置为0.例如，如果级别2为0，则等级3也是0。

安全级别以相反的顺序解锁：第3级之前第2级之前级别1.当级别解锁时，任何大于它的级别也会解锁。例如，解锁级别1（输入级别1安全代码或Vault的组合）也解锁了级别2和3，可以访问所有数据记录器设置和功能。

To set the security codes for your data loggers, we recommend that you use the设备配置实用程序. Communication settings, such as the PakBus address, are accessed through the Settings Editor. Setting a level 1 Security Code will restrict others from making changes to these network settings. Setting a level 2 Security Code means that only those with the security code for level 2 can make changes to a data logger clock. The following table highlights how setting the different levels affects your ability to make changes or access information:

In this image, all three levels are set:

After a data logger has security enabled, you can give trusted individuals varying levels of access. The network administrator (or the person responsible for updating data logger programs and communications) should have the highest level of access, or Security Code 1. In contrast, someone who only needs to collect data can have Security Code 3.

要在数据记录器支持软件中存储安全代码，请按照下列步骤操作：

1. 转到设置屏幕。
2. 在EZSetup向导中，转到数据记录器设置and click the下一个按钮。
3. 输入您的安全代码，然后单击Finish按钮。

在下面的图像中，输入级别3的安全代码;数据收集不受限制，但对时钟和其他设置的更改被阻止了：

数据记录器安全码是保持控制谁可以更改的重要数据记录器设置的一种方法。它是一个很好的硬件管理惯例，只能让人们只能访问他们需要的东西，而不是更多。If you have any questions or comments about setting your levels of security, post them below.
