Data logger security
Data logger security concerns include:
- Collection of sensitive data
- Operation of critical systems
- Networks that are accessible to many individuals
Secure by default
The UID can be found on a QR-code on the data logger.
GRANITE 9/10 data loggers shipped before the release of UIDs and running operating system
Direct USB connections do not require that you enter the PakBus Encryption Key, unless USB Not Trusted is enabled in the data logger.
Other Secure by default features
Anonymous HTTP access is disabled by default. HTTP will be accessible with admin as the username and UID as the admin password. See Web services for more information.
FTP is disabled by default. However, when enabled, the UID will be the default FTP password. See Network services for more information.
Wi-Fi, when configured as an Access Point (“Create a Network”), will use the UID as the default password.
When a data logger has a UID and is reset to factory defaults, the UID will be used as the default password.
Passwords may be changed from the default UID. However, when the data logger is reset to factory defaults or a new OS is sent, the default password will revert to the UID.
Check the GRANITE 9/10 operating system version as outlined in Updating the operating system, and update as needed.
