22 Micro-PWC Features
3.2.2 Logging In
The User Logged In state exists when a user (other than Default) has logged in. Users can be logged in
manually or automatically.
When the Micro-PWC software is started, the login name of the current Windows user is compared to the
user login names found in the Micro-PWC configuration. If a match is found, that user will automatically be
logged into the Micro-PWC, with all of the permissions and CRT contexts configured for that Micro-PWC
user.
To log in manually, select Menu > User. The menu displayed allows the user to log in to (or out of) the
Micro-PWC. (Note that if the optional badge reader hardware and software are in use, and Inhibit Key-
board Logins has been selected, the Login option will not appear on this menu.)
Select Log In from the menu; the window in Figure 3-1 appears. In the area next to the Log In prompt enter
the login name of the user to be logged in, using either the Micro-PWC keyboard or by clicking on the
appropriate keys on the video keyboard. The login name should be followed by clicking OK. Next, enter the
password in the same manner, again followed by clicking OK.
If an incorrect login name or password is entered during a login attempt, a System Event message will be
generated. This message will appear in the System Event display area of the Mini-Alarm Window. The
message will also be stored in the Event Historian (refer to
Section 9.4, Event Historian ). The message will
include the time and date, the node name, the name of the user already logged in on the Micro-PWC at the
time of the unsuccessful attempt, a message regarding the invalid attempt, the name of the Micro-PWC on
which the unsuccessful login was attempted, and the name under which the invalid login was attempted.
For example:
16:42:43 12-JUL-05 PWC1 User Default Invalid Login Attempt on
Terminal PWC1 Fred.
Here, the Default user was logged in on PWC1 when the user Fred unsuccessfully attempted to login.
✎ NOTE
A security system of access levels controls the user’s access to
areas and priorities, as well as network and server functions. When
the security system is active, the user’s access to parameters is
defined by the system default or the user’s login configuration.
When the security system is inactive, no restrictions are placed on
the user’s access abilities.
