Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
System Configuration 59
2.10.5.1.2 User Password
The Password text entry box follows the Username text entry box. The password can have a maximum of
seven ASCII characters, and defaults to the first seven characters of the username. To change the pass-
word, click the associated entry box, use
B ACKSPACE to erase the default password, and enter the desired
ASCII string. The password cannot contain spaces.
Unsuccessful user login attempts will cause a System Event message to be generated. This message will
be displayed in the System Event display area of the Mini-Alarm Window and stored in the Event Historian.
The message will include the time and date, the node name, and a message in the following format:
User <current user login name> Invalid Login Attempt on Terminal
<Micro-PWC Name> <attempted user login name>
where:
<current user login name> is the name of the user currently logged in,
<Micro-PWC Name> is the identity of the Micro-PWC on which the attempt is made, and
<attempted user login name> is the login name of the unsuccessful user.
For example, if the user fred attempted to log in using an incorrect password at a Micro-PWC where the
Default Login state existed, the following message would appear:
16:42:43 10-JUL-05 CON1 User Default Invalid Login Attempt on
Terminal CON1:0 fred
These messages are Micro-PWC Event messages and can be filtered using the Message Filter Parame-
ter, as described in
Section 2.8.4, Message Routing .
2.10.5.1.3 User Access Level
Access Levels (previously discussed in Section 2.10.2.1, Default Login Access Level ) are assigned to both
login accounts (including the Default Login account) and functions. To access a function, the Access Level
of a user’s login account must be equal to or higher than the Access Level assigned to the function. Func-
tion Access Levels are configured using the Function Access option (refer to
Section 2.10.3, Function
Access ) on the security menu.
New logins default to Operator Level 1, the lowest of the nine Access Levels on the Micro-PWC. The but-
ton labelled Access Level, located below the Password entry box on the User Login window, displays the
current Access Level on the button’s face.
