5-12 B30 Bus Differential System GE Multilin5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS5If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.• REMOTE SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.If this setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password isrequired). If this setting is “Off”, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password isprovided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic™ operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to pro-viding the remote setting password to gain setting access.If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.• ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT: This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicablewhen the LOCAL SETTING AUTH setting is programmed to any operand except “On”. The state of the FlexLogic™ oper-and is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, local access is permitted and the timer pro-grammed with the ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT setting value is started. When this timer expires, local setting access isimmediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic™ operand is detected, the time-out is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds.The following settings are available through the remote (EnerVista UR Setup) interface only. Select the Settings > ProductSetup > Security menu item to display the security settings window.The Remote Settings Authorization setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.If this setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password isrequired). If this setting is “Off”, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is pro-vided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic™ operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing theremote setting password to gain setting access.The Access Authorization Timeout setting represents the timeout delay remote setting access. This setting is applicablewhen the Remote Settings Authorization setting is programmed to any operand except “On” or “Off”. The state of theFlexLogic™ operand is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, remote setting access is per-mitted and the timer programmed with the Access Authorization Timeout setting value is started. When this timerexpires, remote setting access is immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic™operand is detected, the timeout is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds.
