DPWS and SSH services are enabled by default. DPWS uses a specific port for Com’X discovery and SSH uses a specific port for remote access by Schneider Electric technical support. For security reasons it is recommended to disable these services by setting the options to No and enabling them only when required.

For a Com’X installed in a publicly accessible location, you can disable the password reset function for the Backup button.

The Warning Banner allows you to display a message to warn against unauthorized use and advice authorized users of their obligations relating to acceptable use of the Com’X. This feature is disabled by default. Once enabled, a user can access Com’X login page only after agreeing to the terms and conditions displayed in the Warning Banner.
