Password Enable/Disable

A password provides a means of restricting access to the Front Panel
Editor of the MessageView terminal. If a password has been
specified in the application it can be enabled or disabled from the
FPE, but it cannot be changed.

The password selection menu will be view-only if the password
feature is not available, either:

because it was not defined in the application, or

because Terminal 421D cannot support it.

Note: The password option is not available on 421D versions of the
MessageView terminal because the 421D terminal has no numeric
keys.

To enable or disable Password Entry:

1. Select Password from the Front Panel Editor menu. Press the

Enter

key to display the current Password status.

Password

Enabled

2. Use the up

or down

arrow keys to toggle between

Disabled and Enabled. If the password option was not defined in
the application software, the arrow keys are ineffective.

3. Press the Enter

key to save the option and return to the

Terminal Setup submenu.

Or press the Ack

key to return to the Terminal Setup

submenu without saving anything.

4. Press the Ack

key to return to the FPE menu.
