Preface
PREFACE
General
To ensure a reliable operation and performance of the CIU 888, active and
efficient management of the CIU 888 is needed. The ciuadmin user account is
used to access the CIU 888 and the CIU 888 Web interface.
To strengthen system security, it is recommended to change the password of the
ciuadmin user account at regular intervals.
Purpose of this manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide information about managing the CIU
888, and the ciuadmin user account in particular.
Target audience of this manual
This manual is primarily intended for system administrators who are
responsible for managing the CIU 888.
MANAGING THE CIUADMIN USER ACCOUNT
There is only one user account to access the CIU 888 and the CIU 888
Web interface, i.e. the ciuadmin user account. To increase system security, it
is recommended to change the password of the ciuadmin user account at regular
intervals (e.g. every 6 months).
Changing the password of the ciuadmin user account
To change the password of the ciuadmin user account, a PC/laptop with a web
browser installed is needed. In addition, a Cat. 5 Ethernet cable (patch or
crossover) is required to connect the PC/laptop to the CIU 888.
NOTE: The Internet Explorer version 10, 11, and Google Chrome are
supported.
Perform the following steps to change the password of the ciuadmin user
account:
-
Connect the PC/laptop to the Service port of the CIU 888 using the Ethernet cable. The Service port is located at the front of the CIU 888 (see FIGURE 1-1).
-
Enter the IP address of the CIU 888 in the address bar of the web browser. The IP address is: 192.168.1.1. Next, press the Enter key.
The CIU 888 Login window is displayed (see FIGURE 1-2). -
Enter the username and password to log in to the CIU 888. The username is: ciuadmin. Next, click LOG IN.
After entering a valid username and password, the main page of CIU 888 Web interface is displayed. The Diagnostics window is displayed by default (see FIGURE 1-3).
-
Click in the section menu bar.
The User Account pop-up menu is displayed (see FIGURE 1-4).
-
Select Change Password from the User account pop-up menu.
The Change Password window is displayed (see FIGURE 1-5).
CIU 888 Web interface: Change Password window -
Change the current password:
a) In the Old password text entry box, enter the current password.
b) In both the New password text entry box and the Confirm password text entry box, enter the new password.
c) Click Submit.
NOTE: The password must meet the following requirements as regards to complexity:
It must:- Not be the same as the previous password
- Not be a dictionary word (e.g. password)
- Have a minimum length of eight characters
- Contain at least one digit and one special character
- Not contain special characters !, ʼ and ˮ
The Change Password window is closed. If the password has been changed successfully, the following dialogue box is displayed (see FIGURE 1-6).
Password changed successfully dialogue box
-
Click OK to close the dialogue box.
Make sure you do not forget the password to log in to the CIU 888! There is no
possibility to retrieve a forgotten password.
Note: Although there is no possibility to retrieve a forgotten password,
there is a way to reset the password to the initial password (i.e.
CIU888@Enraf) by performing a Reset to factory settings operation via the CIU
888 display. Downside of a Reset to factory settings operation is that it
removes the site database, which has to be re-uploaded to the CIU 888. Also,
the W&M and configuration key switches must be opened before performing this
operation.
If you wish to change the password of the ciuadmin user account in a redundant system setup,you need to change the password for both the primary CIU 888 and the secondary CIU 888. It is recommended to keep the same password for both CIU 888s. In this case, you only need to remember one password.
Enforcing a password change during next login
To further improve system security, a user can be forced to change the
password the next time he logs in to the CIU 888.
Perform the following steps to enforce a password change during next login:
-
Click in the section menu bar of the CIU 888 Web interface,
The User account pop-up menu is displayed (see FIGURE 1-7).
CIU 888 Web interface: User account pop-up menu -
Select Settings in the User account pop-up menu
The Password Change Options window is displayed (see FIGURE 1- 8).
-
Select Enforce password change during next log in.
-
Click OK to save the settings and to close the window.
The next time a user logs in to the CIU 888 through web interface or the Migration tool, he needs to change the password first in order to get access to the CIU 888 Web interface.
REMARK: When the user gets access to the CIU 888 after the password change, the Enforce password change during next log in option will be unchecked automatically.
