PASSWORD CONFIGURATION


Password Configuration

Configuring passwords allows you to use an XML file to set up how the passwords function works.

To create a Password Configuration XML file, you might want to start with some examples. If you have the iPendant or Internet Explorer connected to your robot, you can view the robot’s HOME page. Select the link “Error/Diagnostic files (text) available on MD:” and select the link “PASSCFG.DG” Password Configuration.

Each of these links contains a sample XML file. If you cannot view the robot’s HOME page or you want to have your own copy, you can copy the files from the MD: device. For example, copy MD:PASSLVL.XML to MC: to get your own copy of the file. The samples will show the Password Configuration for the current level of the user who is logged in.

The password configuration is stored as FRS:PASSWORD.DT. This file is read and configures passwords every time the system is turned on. The file FRS:PASSWORD.DT can be backed up and restored as an Application file by using the FILE menu.
