6.1.2 Product license information

A USB hardware key and a license file are delivered with the SYS 600C product. The
hardware key is pre-installed inside the SYS 600C device.
The MicroSCADA Pro SYS 600 license is delivered as a PAF file (Product Authorization
File) on the disk and is also pre-installed. To view the license information delivered with
SYS 600C, open Monitor Pro and select Tools > Engineering Tools > Tool Manager.
Double-click License Tool on the Miscellaneous tab.
The SYS 600C functionality is controlled by the license information.

6.1.3 Windows user accounts

By default, SYS 600C contains two Windows admin user accounts: MicroSCADA and
ScAdmin. The MicroSCADA account is used by the SYS 600 service and it is not
intended for the users. In the default SYS 600C installation it is not possible to login
with this account. The ScAdmin account is an administrator account that should be used
by the system administrator.
In addition to two admin user accounts, there are preconfigured non-admin user accounts
(ScEngineer, ScOperator, and ScViewer) and respective groups. These user accounts
are disabled by default and can be enabled by ScAdmin user. The password has to be
changed on next logon.

41
SYS 600C 2.93 MicroSCADA Pro 1MRS757728

User's Guide

Do not give administrative rights (Administrators) to

operators/viewers/engineers. Only system administrators should
have administrative rights. The administrator is able to create
more Windows accounts.

The passwords of the default users are documented in the delivery documentation. It is
highly recommended that these default passwords are changed before the system is taken
into use. It should be noted that the changing of MicroSCADA account's password must
be done via MicroSCADA Control Panel > Admin > Password, instead of the regular
password changing process.

It is recommended to use passwords that contain at least 15

characters. Change the default password of the ScAdmin user
accordingly. Windows password policy has been configured
to the default SYS 600C installation. It defines the minimum
length of a password to be 12 characters.

6.1.4 MicroSCADA user accounts

Password policy settings for MicroSCADA can be configured via User Management
tool, which can be started from Monitor Pro by selecting Tools > Engineering Tools >
User Management. By default, password complexity requirements are disabled. See
SYS 600 Security Guide for more information on how to configure password policies
and on their effects on the system.
SYS 600 also includes a backdoor which can be used to reset system manager’s password
in case it is lost. This feature can be disabled by following the steps presented in the SYS
600 Security Guide.

The reset password feature cannot be re-enabled after it has

once been disabled. In case this feature is disabled and the
system manager’s password is lost, maintenance tasks, which
require system manager rights, are no longer possible. The
only way to recover is to rebuild the system.

6.1.5 Operating system enhancements

Otherwise the Windows operating system-related settings within SYS 600C follow the
default Windows settings.
Depending on the system requirements, the following enhancements are typically needed:
• Define the computer name and TCP/IP address.
• Change the TCP/IP settings to meet the target network characteristics.

42

7 Troubleshooting and support

7.1 Troubleshooting
Problem:
When power switch is toggled, SYS 600C will not start.
Solution:
1. Ensure that the power connectors are properly attached and that correct input range
for the device is used. You can find the correct input range for the device in the
delivery documents and on a label near the power connectors.
2. Ensure that the Power Input Terminals are correctly wired. See Section 4.2 Setting
up SYS 600C for proper wiring for the terminals.
3. Ensure that SYS 600C and all attached peripherials (display, active USB-hubs, etc.)
are correctly grounded as described in Section 4.2 Setting up SYS 600C.
Problem:
When you disconnect the cable from the VGA connector of running SYS 600C, the
display does not wake up, when you reconnect the cable.
Solution:
1. Ensure that the cable is properly attached to the VGA connector.
2. Power on the display.
3. Press CTRL + ALT + F1 to activate the display card chipset manually.
4. If this does not help, reboot SYS 600C.
5. Before the Windows logo appears, press F8 and select boot in VGA–mode.
6. Then remove the display drivers, reboot the system, and reinstall the display driver.
Problem:
During the serial line Process or upper level NCC communication within the SYS 600C,
you can sometimes see that the Diagnostics Counters for these communication lines are
increasing related to the occurred Timeouts, Parity or Framing errors. You can also detect
that LEDs for these same lines within the SYS 600C front panel are not blinking
symmetrically.
Solution:
For the Process communication remember always to use shielded communication cables
to minimize the effect of electrical disturbances to the communication lines connected
to SYS 600C. The maximum shield is provided, when the shield of communication cable
has been wired to the DB9 connectors in both ends. The additional equipments, for
example, gender changers or DB9 adaptors, should not be used together with serial
cables. For more information about serial cable wiring requirements, see SYS 600 product
documentation.

8 Terminology

Term Description
Solid State Drive Solid State Drive (SSD) is a type of mass storage device. Internal
SSDs connect to a computer like a hard drive, using standard
IDE or SATA connections.
SSDs do not store data magnetically and store data using flash
memory, they are not susceptible to data loss due to strong
magnetic fields in close proximity to the drive. SSDs have no
moving parts, there is far less chance of a mechanical break-
down.
SSD provides faster access time than a hard disk, because the
SSD data can be randomly accessed in the same time whatever
the storage location. The SSD access time does not depend on
a read/write interface head synchronising with a data sector on
a rotating disk.
Partition A divided part of data storage space. Files and folders are stored
in different partitions indicated by the different drive letters. One
purpose of partitioning is to separate the operating system files
from the user files within the computer.
