Logging in and out
The.AdderView.CATx.features.a.straightforward.security.system.that.helps.to.
prevent.unauthorised.access.to.some,.or.all.connected.computers..
If.the.security.option.has.been.selected.by.your.administrator.then.you.will.be.
asked.to.enter.a.User Name.and.Password.when.you.first.access.a.user.port..
When.you.have.finished.using.the.computer,.it.is.then.good.practice.to.logout,.
forcing.any.other.users.to.authenticate.themselves.prior.to.use.
Note: If the security option has not been enabled then no login is required.

computers..Although.you.can.use.exactly.the.same.selection.methods.to.choose.

method.for.the.following.reasons:

structure,.each.computer.can.have.an.address.up.to.six.digits.long.which.
can.be.difficult.to.remember.and.laborious.to.type.
