Yes because having a user remember to do something is a great line of defense, better than encrypting it from the get go. It should just be encrypted in the file.
Am I the only one in this thread that took this as it’s asking for a clear text credential which is a terrible idea?
Slight clarification that you described a smart online ups. A line interactive device only supplements power grid with battery in order to keep a smooth 120v should it flutter, for ex if target voltage drops to prevent brownout conditions or fully kick over to battery if power goes out.
A smart online ups runs from the battery 24/7 and is back fed by the grid.
To be slightly fair to the tech illiterate, there’s no sfp transceiver specified or shown in the picture… how the hell is someone supposed to plug that in?
That was great, totally didn’t even mean to throw a GB reference but I’ll take it haha. Almost spit out my coffee
