Security
The VEU-A10 has two levels of protection against unauthorized access. For connection via Ethernet or WiFi,
a password of at least 8 characters must be used. After connection, a four digit PIN is used to control the
access level.

WiFi and Ethernet Authentication
A password is used to authenticate access over Ethernet or WiFi connection when using Xtralis VSC.
The password is set in the General options tab for the VEU-A10 detector, and applies to both Ethernet and
WiFi access. Refer to Section 5.5.3 on page 62 and Section 5.5.4 on page 64 for further information. When
creating connection profiles in Xtralis VSC, the same password must be entered. Refer to Section 5.1.2 on
page 49 for further information.
The password must conform to the following rules:
l
8 or more characters.
l
Contains one or more numeric characters.
l
Contains both upper case and lower case characters.

Access Control
When accessing the VEU-A10 detector via Xtralis VSC, user functionality is initially limited. For additional
privileges, the user must log in to the detector using an 4 digit numeric PIN code. In Xtralis VSC, select Logon
from the Connection menu and enter the PIN.
