ABOUT UNIT AND SVWIN PASSWORDS
There are two types of passwords used in SVWin:
Unit Passwords
SVWin Passwords
Unit Passwords are required when connecting to a unit and must be 6 numeric digits in length.
Unit passwords also add an extra level of security by allowing you to assign selected units to
other SVWin users.
SVWin Passwords are not required and, if used, must be 6 numeric digits in length. SVWin
passwords force SVWin users to enter a password when opening the application.
EDITING A UNIT PASSWORD
Unit passwords are created automatically (default = 000000) when you create a new unit
definition. IMPORTANT: If the unit password in SVWin is different than the unit password at the
unit, then you will not
be able to connect to the unit.
To edit the password, follow these steps:
1 From the main menu (see Figure 2), click Work on an Existing Unit Definition.
2 At the Existing Units window (see Figure 3), select the desired unit from the Panel
Information table.

digits in length.
