Security Configuration

Use these settings to configure the security settings of the Trimble receiver and to add a user.

Select Security / Configuration.

Security

Enabled – Requires all users to log in to access the receiver.
Enabled with Anonymous Access – Any user can access the receiver without logging in. If enabled, anonymous users can download and delete files. Users are required to log in when attempting to change any of the receiver settings.

Login IP Address Range (non-admin) – Log in is allowed from any IP address or can be restricted to authentication-only from a LAN or WAN format IP address. The ‘admin’ account always allows log in from any IP address and requires at least a medium strength password.

Any IP (default) – A user can log into any account from any IP address (including the internet), and the password for each account must be at least medium strength.
LAN/WAN IP Only – Logging into user-defined accounts is only allowed from LAN/WAN IP addresses (not the internet), but any strength password can be used for these accounts. You can create another account with the same authorizations as 'admin', for example, ‘admin2’ that uses any strength password and can only be accessed locally. The LAN/WAN IP address ranges are:
- 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
- 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
- 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255

User summary table

The table provides a summary of all users and their security privileges. The privileges of the admin user cannot be changed and the admin user cannot be deleted. Only the password of the admin user can be changed.

Add User

Enter a username and password for a new user. To enable the privileges for the user, select the appropriate check boxes. To create a new user, click Add User. The security eye icon can be used to toggle viewing of the password characters. The Password field also shows the estimated password strength. The password strength required depends on the Login IP Address Range (non-admin) setting.
