Safe Commands

What can the Safe Commands be used for?

Safe Commands are applied to specific objects in the configuration where commands must be executed extra carefully. These Safe Command functions can remove the hazard of unintended commands being sent by accident or commands being sent by unauthorized personnel.

Types of Safe Commands

There are three different Safe Commands that may be selected for an object in the IGSS configuration. For each Safe Command, a dialog box will appear, when an operator tries to send a command to the object. Click the drop-down buttons to view an example of each dialog box and a short description:

View an example for Confirm

The simplest Safe Command is Confirm, where the Ok button must be clicked before the command is sent (see illustration below).

 

For a procedure of how to set up the Confirm Safe Command see Safe Commands - Example 1.

 

View an example for Password

The Conf. Password Safe Command is used when only some personnel are allowed to send commands to the object. This means that a user name and an associated password must be given before the command can be sent (see illustration below).

 

Note:

The determination of user rights are set using the Protect object and the User Administration module. For more info see Safe Commands - Example 2.

 

View an example forConf. 2 Users

The most secure Safe Command is the Conf. 2 Users, where two authorized operators must give their names and passwords before a command can be sent to the object (See the illustration below).

 

Note:

The determination of user rights are set using the Protect object and the User Administration module. For more info see Safe Commands - Example 2.

 

Procedure examples

To demonstrate the use of the Safe Commands, two examples are given. Example 1 illustrates the simplest Safe Command, that is the Confirm Safe Command. Example 2 illustrates the two Safe Commands, Conf. Password and Conf. 2 Users.
