    Integrated security tools help prevent local intrusion or unauthorized operation

    Eaton's Cooper Power series Form 7 recloser control includes an array of integrated security tools to help prevent local intrusion or unauthorized operation. This array provides a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) User audit log, signed firmware and an optional door switch (which reports door open/close or switch disconnected status). Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption tools can be utilized to establish a secure, private communications channel for SCADA traffic and remote connection to ProView NXG.
