How can a datalogger be made more secure?

The CR1000, CR3000, CR800, and CR850 dataloggers may be used in applications that include collecting sensitive data, operating critical systems, or providing network access to many people. For reasons such as these, it is important to enable password protection for any services that provide high-level access to the datalogger’s data and programs. 

The following are some suggested security measures that can be taken:

  • Send the latest operating system to the datalogger. Datalogger operating systems can be downloaded from our website.
  • Set the PakBus security codes.
  • Set the PakBus Encryption Key.
  • Set the PakBus/TCP password.
  • Set the FTP username and password.
  • Create a .csipasswd file for securing HTTP.
  • Encrypt program files if they contain sensitive information.
  • Hide program files for extra protection.

Note: The above security measures are only effective if physical access to the datalogger is secured. If absolute security is a requirement, keep the datalogger and power supply under lock and key. In addition, secure any telecommunications hardware.
