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.
