328 -3.3.1. Setting up control and remote control without password
329 -
330 -In standard operation, sending control and remote control signals requires user password entry. However, in certain cases, this level of security may be excessive. To accommodate such scenarios, the CENTO software includes a setting that allows //Control without password.//
331 -
332 -Control without password is configured using the diagram (i.e., via the Information Model). To enable this, add the attribute Control without password with the code //skip_password// and the bool type to the class of the control object (see Fig. 3.3.16).

356 -=== 3.3.2. Configuring permission for remote control ===
357 -
358 -Before executing remote control commands, some devices require an initial permission signal to be sent to a dedicated register. This signal enables remote control functionality. Only after this permission is granted the device accepts and process the main remote control commands.
359 -
360 -To implement this type of remote control (TC) in CENTO, the following attributes are added to the object class (see Fig. 3.3.20):
361 -
362 -* **telecontrol_permit_on_ti** – permission to switch TC on;
363 -* **telecontrol_permit_off_ti** – permission to switch TC off.

366 -
367 -Figure 3.3.20. Attributes for remote control permission
368 -
369 -The system assigns the IDs of the corresponding tags to these attributes of the IM object. These tags are configured to send a signal to the register that enables remote control (see Fig. 3.3.21)

372 -
373 -Figure 3.3.21. Configuration of attributes for enabling telecontrol
374 -
375 -When an object uses the system class //Telecontrol// to send control commands, the permission-related attributes are designated as //permit_on_tag// and //permit_off_tag// (see Fig. 3.3.22):
376 -
377 -[[image:Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 17.35.21.png]]
378 -
379 -Figure 3.3.22. Attributes for enabling remote control
380 -
381 -In some devices, a single tag handles this function, while in others, two separate tags perform it. These tags are configured similarly to those used for direct remote control, differing only in the register address (see Fig. 3.3.23):

386 -
387 -Thus, after adding the attributes //telecontrol_permit_on_ti// and //telecontrol_permit_off_ti//, configuring the tags, and assigning them to the IM object, CENTO software first sends the remote control permission command before transmitting the actual remote control command.
