Getting Started / Using the Security Levels

4–3

Listed below are further considerations for accessing the setup mode:

First Time Entry – Default Password: For entering the setup mode the
first time after installing the USER–PAK option, the default 3–character
password is A–B.

The initial entry will access the ADMINISTRATOR level of the setup mode.

Non–unique passwords: If the same password is assigned for two or more
levels, the password will access the highest level for that password.

Case–sensitivity: Password entry is case–sensitive. Use the “shift” arrow
key (lower left/right corners) to access the lower–case keyboard if necessary.

Password Display: The characters you select will appear as asterisks to the
right of

Password:

in the keyboard display.

Incorrect password: If you have not entered the password correctly, the

Status:

line in the keyboard will display

Incorrect Password

:

If this happens, simply try entering the password again. You can try as many
times as is necessary to correctly enter the password.

No Keyboard – Setup Mode entered Directly:

If, when you pick the

Setup

box, the CVIM module goes directly to setup mode, this indicates

Security has been turned OFF (see “Setting Security ON/OFF” later in this
chapter to display the password entry keyboard with security

OFF

).

When you enter the setup mode with USER–PAK installed, you enter one of
three security levels of the setup mode – ADMINISTRATOR, MANAGER,
or USER level (see “Accessing the Setup Mode” in this chapter). A fourth
security level is the “runtime” level – access to runtime menus and displays
during run mode – which does not require a password.

You cannot change your current security level directly within setup mode.
To change security levels, you must exit to run mode, then reenter setup
mode using the appropriate password for the security level you want to enter.

The different security levels each allow a different level of interaction with
the base CVIM module functions and USER–PAK functions. Table 4.A
summarizes the features and functions available at each security level.
