41 Goto Configure Mode
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
Software Mode Switching at the PanelView Terminal
For the Goto Configure Mode Button to operate, the Soft Mode
Switch must be enabled, and the terminal’s hardware keyswitch must
be in Run mode. The Goto Configure Mode button allows operators
to switch between Run and Configure modes without using the
hardware keyswitch.
When in Configure Mode, press the Mode Switch tab in the Security
window to display the following screen.
Important: If the Software Mode Switch is set to Enable, the Goto
Configure Mode button is displayed without access
restrictions on both the Transfer Application screen and
the Major Fault window. (See below for a screen
display.) This may pose a security issue, because all
operators will be able to switch between Run and
Configure modes.
The presence of the Goto Configure Mode button in an application
running on the PanelView terminal does not disable the terminal’s
hardware keyswitch; the terminal can still be switched from Run
mode to Configure mode using the keyswitch or remote keyswitch
(if fitted).
