The USER–PAK option allows the ADMINISTRATOR to disable security
(that is, remove the password requirement) for entry into the setup mode.
Below are descriptions of the effects of having
Security: ON
(enabled) and
Security: OFF
(disabled):
•
Security: ON – A password is required for access to the setup mode.
Whenever you pick the
Setup
box, the password keyboard will appear
(see “Accessing the Setup Mode” in this chapter).
•
Security: OFF – No password is required for entry to the setup mode.
When you pick the
Setup
box, the CVIM module goes directly to setup
mode.
Security Level accessed with Security OFF: With Security OFF,
picking the
Setup
box accesses the USER level of the setup mode, unless
the USER level shares a common password with one or both of the other
levels. In this case, the security level entered will be the highest level
available through the common password.
Displaying password keyboard with Security OFF: In order to display
the password entry keyboard with security
OFF
, hold the tip of the light
pen down upon the
Setup
box until the keyboard appears (about two
seconds). If you are using a mouse, place the cursor over the
Setup
box,
and hold the left mouse button down until the keyboard appears.
To set
Security
to
ON
or
OFF
(available at ADMINISTRATOR level only):
•
Pick
Exit
box on the main menu to access the
Exit
menu:
Security: box
Exit: box
•
Pick the
Security
box to toggle the setting between
ON
and
OFF
.
Default Setting: The default setting is
Security: ON
.
The USER–PAK option provides a method to effectively override the
password security feature, and enter the setup mode at the
ADMINISTRATOR level. This is accomplished through the use of the
Installation / Key card. This “Key” method of entry is especially important if
the password for the administrator level is lost or is otherwise unavailable.
