• Working with passwords
“NiceOpera” device passwords
All devices in the “NiceOpera” system, including Oview, offer the installer and
user the option of restricting access against unauthorised tampering of sensi-
tive data of the device, by implementing an access password.
The password will be saved on the device and will restrict access to the
functions regardless of the Oview connected.
If a device is password-protected, the “Log in” procedure is compulsory before
programming is enabled, the subsequent log out will take place automatically
when you go back to the main screen.
There are two types of password that can be set on a control unit: “User Pass-
word” and “Installer Password”.
If the device is protected by both passwords, Oview will automatically ask the
password to be entered.
If the installer password is set and the correct password is not entered in “Log
in” on the screen relating to that control unit, access to the menus will be re-
stricted. In particular, when entering the “Control unit functions” menu, some
items will not be visible and other will be, though not modifiable.
It is possible to also set a user password (valid only if the installer password
has been set), which will completely block access to the menus to those not
knowing the passwords.
The installer may decide which parts to make visible or modifiable to those who
access with the user password. The route to modify the access permissions is:
“Control unit functions” → “Advanced functions” → “User permissions”.
In particular: by moving the S and T arrows you can assign one of the following
permissions to each menu item:
read only permission (visible, but not modifiable)
■ read and edit permission (visible and modifiable)
∼ the item will not be visible to the user.
if no password is set, the entire menu is visible and modifiable (you access it as
installer, with all the permissions). At any time it is possible to understand which
profile you are accessing the menus with, by checking the icon on the lower bar
(
user or installer).
– Caution! If items are missing from the menu when browsing, this means
that passwords have been set. To be able to access the complete menu it is
necessary to log in with the installer password.
– Caution! The installer and user passwords are independent from the Oview
password. They protect different parts of the menu.
Oview password
Oview enables the programming of an “Oview Password”.
The “Oview Password” is used to block access by the user to data and func-
tions related to the correct operation of Oview (access to the “Options” menu).
This password also protects the parameters of the OVTB or OVBTGSM mod-
ules if connected.
– To set a password: in the home page (fig. 7) select “Options” by means
of key z (7 – fig. 6) and then select “Oview Settings”. Then select “Oview
Password” and set the desired password.
Note – When a password is enabled, it will be requested each time you access
the “Options” menu.
– To modify or delete an existing password: select “Options” in the
main screen. After entering the password, select “Oview Settings” and then
“Oview Password”
- program a new password and save modifications, or,
- delete the existing password leaving the dedicated space blank and save the
changes.
• Oview with firmware vers. OV04 onwards
Oview with firmware vers. OV04 onwards has two functions: “Event log” and
“Control unit update”.
Events log
This function enables the user to display on Oview all operations performed
by the devices on the network to which Oview is connected. Data acquisition
(events log) is performed from the start, automatically and not visible to the
installer, as soon as Oview is connected to the network: this searches for all
devices on the network and stores the events log of each in its specific mem-
ory, overwriting data of previous versions. After searching for devices on the
network, with Oview still connected, the events log of a device can be viewed
one at a time, as follows: select the device, followed by the item “Advanced
functions” → “Events log”. To scroll through events, use keys S and T.
The events log can also be viewed using “Oview Software Suite”. In this case,
