Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
System Configuration 9
2.0 System Configuration
2.1 Introduction
Each Micro-PWC contains parameters which must be configured to achieve optimum performance locally
and to allow the unit to function effectively with the DCS system. This chapter provides basic information
required to get started using the system, then moves on to discuss System Configuration functions, includ-
ing definition of Archival Groups, Message Configuration, Security, and Network Parameter Configuration.
Network parameters include the System Title, Alarm Setup, assignment of Area Names and Event Bit
Names, and Printer Configuration.
2.2 Getting Started
One of two states can exist on a Micro-PWC that is running:
• the System Default state (no user logged in)
• the User Logged In state
2.2.1 System Default State
The System Default state occurs after a Micro-PWC initial startup, after a user has logged out of a Micro-
PWC, or when a Micro-PWC is restarted and auto-login is not possible
. When the System Default state
exists:
• The security Access Level, Quick Keys and CRT Context Keys are those defined in the
Default Login setup.
• The user name in the title bar of the Mini-Alarm Window is Default.
• IThe displays contained in the Operator Windows are those defined in the initial login displays
of the Default Login setup. If no initial login displays are defined for the Default Login, a single
Operator Window is opened, which contains the System Status Display.
When the System Default state exists, the system responds as though a user named Default is logged in
on the system. Depending on the security level assigned to this Default user, various activities can be per-
formed on the system, such as opening Operator Windows, viewing displays, or printing the contents of
the screen.
When the Micro-PWC is started initially and no security levels have yet been assigned, the Default user is
automatically assigned to the highest security level available (Supervisor level 3). This allows the user per-
forming the initial system configuration to create user login accounts and assign to them appropriate
Access Levels. The Default user account can then be re-assigned to a lower Access Level. System secu-
rity, including the concept of Access Levels, is discussed in
Section 2.10, Security .
2.2.2 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 (see
Section 2.10.5, User Login ). If a match is
found, that user will automatically be logged into the Micro-PWC.
To log in manually, from the System Window select Menu > User. The resulting menu displayed allows the
user to login to (or logout of) the Micro-PWC.
