Chapter 4 Operation Using ICIM
ICIM Password
The ICIM2 lets you send configuration commands, change alarm thresholds, and
restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. To prevent unauthorized
changes to these parameters, you can use a password protection system.
Password authorization only applies to configurable parameters. Status and alarm
information is always available on the ICIM2, regardless of password
implementation.
Password Protection System
The ICIM2 menu options available in the password protection system are shown
here.

Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, simply skip the
password function when it appears on the ICIM2 menu. You can access all module
status and alarm information without a password.
However, once a user password is entered, you are required to enter it every time
you want to set configurable parameters to any module controlled by that ICIM2.
Refer to Expired Password or Inactive Password Messages (on page 71) and To
Enter the User Password (on page 71).
