users to customize the software to change how the software displays dates and times. To
provide administrators of systems with a central point of control, LogTag Recorders has
developed a software package called "LogTag User Server", which when used in
conjunction with this software, it will provide an administrator with the ability to choose
whether or not to restrict what users can and cannot do with this software.

To find out more about LogTag User Server, please contact your network administrator
and/or your LogTag reseller.

How users log on

When the software has been

customized

(see "Customizing the software" on page 86) to

be connected to the

LogTag User Server

(see "User Server" on page 114) software, all

users are required to successfully logon to the software before being permitted to use any
of the features and functionality of the software. For a user to successfully logon to the
software, the user must enter their username, which the administrator would have
assigned, and their password. Username's are typically not case sensitive, however
passwords are. That is, entering the Username "Bob Smith" is the same as entering "BOB
SMITH" and "bob smith". However, entering a password of "bob" rather than "Bob", for
example, is considered to be different.

Every logon attempt, whether successful or not, may be recorded automatically in the
audit logs by the administrator. As a security measure, the network administrator may
configure the

LogTag User Server

(see "User Server" on page 114) software so that a

user account becomes locked and therefore temporarily inaccessible if a certain number
of consecutive failed logon attempts are made to the user account. Please contact your
network administrator if you have problems with the logging on the software.
