Web Server.

Changing default user names and passwords

immediately

As soon as you complete the installation and initial configuration of the

Battery Management System, immediately change the default user names

and passwords. Configuring unique user names and passwords is essential

to establish basic security for your system.

Port assignments

If a Telnet, FTP, SSH/SCP, or Web/SSL server uses a non-standard port, a

user must specify the port when using the client interface, such as a Web

browser. The non-standard port address becomes an extra “password,”

hiding the server to provide an additional level of security. The TCP ports for

which these servers listen are initially set at the standard “well known ports”

for the protocols. To hide the interfaces, use any port numbers from 5000 to

32768.

Security Access Description

Available methods:

• User name and password

• Selectable server port

• Server Enable/Disable

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

In basic HTTP authentication mode, the user name and

password are transmitted base-64 encoded (with no

encryption).

SSL are available on Web browsers supported for the

Battery Management System and on most Web

servers. The Web protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol

over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) encrypts and

decrypts page requests to the Web server and pages

returned by the Web server to the user.
