Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
66 System Configuration
Password A password is a string of up to seven ASCII characters which must be supplied
by a user attempting to log on the Micro-PWC. A user’s password should be
kept confidential. To help maintain this confidentiality, the Micro-PWC does not
echo the password on the screen while it is typed.
When a user account is configured, the password for that account defaults to
the first seven characters in the user name. To change a password, select
Security > Change Password. Enter the user name and current password
(press
R ETURN after each) in the resulting Change Password window. Type the
new password in response to the New Password prompt, and again in
response to the Verify Password prompt. Since the password is not echoed on
the screen, this verification step insures that an accidental typing error will not
prevent the user from gaining access via the new password.
NOTE: The Micro-PWC is case sensitive; upper and lower case letters are not
interchangeable.
Set Button The Set button appears on both the Default Login Configuration and User
Login Configuration windows. Click this button to permit access to all Message
Types for the selected Message Class.
Set All Button The Set All button appears on both the Default Login Configuration and User
Login Configuration windows. Click this button to permit access to all Message
Types for all Message Classes.
User Login A user login (often referred to simply as a login)is an individualized set of
parameters configured for each user (or type of user) on the system. The use
of user logins enhances the security of a system. Select Security > User Login
to configure login accounts.
Section 2.10.5, User Login provides additional
details.
Username The username is a string of up to 20 characters which will be used to log in to
the Micro-PWC. This can be the name of a person (Smith, joe, etc.) or it can be
a descriptive term such as Operator, Sr. Engineer, and so on. User names are
entered in the Username Selection entry box on the Login Configuration
window, which is available via Security > User Login. The Micro-PWC is case
sensitive, so the username must be entered exactly as it has been configured.
Once the user has logged in, the username will appear on the title bar of the
Mini-Alarm Window.
