Technical description

GE Mark VIe Controller is shipped with pre-configured hard-coded credentials that may allow root-user access to the controller.

The bulk of controllers go into applications requiring the GE commissioning engineer to change default configurations during the installation process. GE recommends that users reset controller passwords during installation in the operating environment.
