How to change passwords.

How to enter setup mode using the Installation / Key Card.

This section introduces security by posing some questions and answers.

What type of system security does USER-PAK provide?
With the USER-PAK option installed, access to the setup mode requires a
password (unless security is turned OFF – see Setting Security ON/OFF in
this chapter). The password requirement can help provide assurance against
unauthorized modification of the Color CVIM configuration, and help
prevent unauthorized personnel from taking the Color CVIM module out of
run mode.

What are “security levels?”
The USER-PAK system security enables access to four different levels of
interaction; we refer to these different levels as “security levels.”

Three security levels are defined within the setup mode, each allowing a
different level of interaction with Color CVIM / USER-PAK features:

ADMINISTRATOR – Full access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.

MANAGER – Mid-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.

USER – Lower-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.

Access to Color CVIM runtime menus and displays does not require a
password – this “runtime” level of interaction can be considered as a fourth
level of security.
