Initial Connection
Each of the initial passwords for the user accounts is default. It is recommended, for security
purposes, that these passwords are changed. The administrator password should be
appropriately noted when changed. If it is lost, do not return the Gateway to the factory, see
“Resetting to factory defaults” on page 15.
To change the User Accounts Passwords:
1. Navigate to Setup>Security>User accounts.
2. Set the new password for each role based user account, and confirm.
3. Choose Submit.
Note
It is suggested that the default security settings in Setup>Security>User Options be changed to
the local IT best practices or the “Normal” setting after initial login. Strong or custom settings
are available for more robust passwords. For more information on this screen and others please
see the User Interface Terminology Guide (00809-0600-4420).
Antivirus
Antivirus and other software tools are not included in the Gateway firmware. These software
tools should be installed on any machine connected to the Gateway. Emerson bundles the latest
software patches into our standard Gateway firmware updates. These software patches are not
anti-malware or antivirus tools in any sense of the word, but do provide the latest in security
protection.
Password complexity
The browser front-end of the Gateway supports many customizable password rules
(Setup>Security>User Options). All of the following rules are customizable:
Minimum overall password length
Minimum lowercase character count
Minimum uppercase character count
Minimum digit count
Minimum symbol count
Idle session timeout time
Maximum session lifetime to force a user to re-enter their password
Minimum password lifetime to prevent a user from changing their password too often
Maximum password lifetime to periodically force a user to change their password.
Password failure limit at which point the account is locked and the user must wait for a
specified period of time prior to additional attempts to enter their password
Password failure lock to lock an account after a specified number of incorrect
passwords
Require a wait period after the specified number of incorrect passwords have been
entered
Password history depth to limit reuse of passwords

Logging
The Gateway monitors many security events automatically. A complete list of events can be
viewed from the Log Settings (Setup>Log Settings) area in the Gateway interface. The Gateway
also supports the optional use of a Syslog server. This provides significant flexibility and allows
the user to determine how log messages are handled and how long logs are kept. It is possible
for the user to configure the Syslog server to issue automated alerts for various messages.
Time settings
The Gateway is the timekeeper for the WirelessHART network, so it is imperative that the
Gateway’s time is accurate for timestamp data to be meaningful. Time settings can be found by
navigating to Setup>Time as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 12.
Gateway time settings and time stamps are stored internally as UTC time. The appropriate web
browser being used displays the time as per the local browser settings.
There are three ways to set the Gateway time:
1. Network Time Protocol (recommended).
This option uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to slowly adjust the Gateway’s
time in order to match the time of the control network. Enter the IP address for the NTP
server and select the packet version (1, 2, 3, or 4).
2. Set with PC Time.
This option will match the Gateway’s time to that of the PC/Laptop.
3. Manual Entry.
This option allows the user to enter a specific date (MM:DD:YY) and time (HH:MM:SS).
Note
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is recommended for the best network performance because it
always adjusts time to match the network time server.
Failure to provide regular time synchronization over a long period of time (months) can cause
the Gateway network to drift off time.

TCP/IP network settings
Prior to the Gateway being installed and connected to a live control network, it should be
configured with an IP address, as well as other TCP/IP network settings. This specific page can be
found in “System backup” on page 14.
Figure 2-3. Ethernet Settings
Use caution when making changes to the TCP/IP network settings. If they are lost or
entered incorrectly, the Gateway will require a factory reset (see“Resetting to factory
defaults” on page 15). Contact the network administrator for information on the proper
TCP/IP network settings to apply.
