Mode Switch
Press the Mode Switch tab in the Security window to display the
following screen.
For the Software Mode Switch to operate, the terminal’s hardware
keyswitch must be in Run mode. The Software Mode Switch button
lets you enable or disable the Goto Configure Mode button, which is
displayed in an application running on the PanelView terminal. The
Goto Configure Mode button allows operators to switch between
Run and Configure modes without using the hardware keyswitch.
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).
