Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
62 System Configuration
Above the list box is a set of choices; each choice has a toggle button associated with it. The toggle but-
tons allow the user to select which parameters are to be copied to the new login. Parameter options which
can be selected include:
• All Parameters
• Access Level
• Message Class
• CRT Context Keys
• Quick Keys
Click the toggle button for each type of parameter to be copied from the source login. Click OK to complete
the operation.
2.10.5.3 Edit a User Login
To revise an existing user login, from the System Window select Menu > Configure > Security > User Login
to call up the User Login Configuration window (
Figure 2-31 ). Locate the desired user name in the list box,
using the scroll bar if necessary. Select the user name, then click Edit. The User Login window
(
Figure 2-32 ) will appear, containing the configuration for the selected username. Make changes to the
existing parameters as described in the paragraphs above.
Changes take effect the next time the user logs into the Micro-PWC.
2.10.5.4 Delete a Login
To delete an existing login, from the System Window,select Menu > Configure > Security > User Login to
call up the User Login Configuration window. Select the user name in the list box, then click Delete. A con-
firmation box will ask:
Delete selected items?
Click Yes to delete the selected login, or click No to exit without deleting.
2.10.6 Change Password
When a login is initially configured, the password for the login defaults to the first seven characters of the
username entered for the login. One of a new user’s first actions should be to change this password, to
prevent unauthorized persons from using the account.
A good password is an essential component of system security. Use the following guidelines when choos-
ing a password:
• Avoid the obvious choices, such as names, social security numbers, words that appear in a
dictionary, license plate numbers, etc.
• Make it complex - use a mixture of upper and lower case letters, as well as numbers, in the
password.
• Use all seven characters - a password that is too short is easy to guess.
While the user is not prevented from using a single character or spouse’s name as a password, this is not
good practice.
✎ Note On the Micro-PWC system, the toggle labelled Display Center
Terminals may be ignored.
