After performing the steps listed above, the user will be logged in to the password system. The
user will have access to all restricted items that have been designated for his access. This access
will remain until the user performs a log out or until the user is automatically logged out.
The user can log out by using the ACC key. This key will directly switch the display to the
Quick Access screen. The “LOGOUT” soft key legend will appear along the bottom of the
screen. If the operator presses this key, he will log out. He will no longer have access to the
restricted items, unless he repeats steps A through D.
In addition to the manual log out, the system contains an automatic logout. The intent of
automatic log out is to reduce the possibility of users other than the intended user having access
to restricted items. If there were no provisions for automatic log out and a user forgot to
manually log out, all restricted items to which the user had been designated for access would be
available from the log in time until power was removed from the OmniLink control. This
presents the possibility of users other than the intended user having access to restricted items.
Automatic log out is based upon both time and press strokes. During system configuration
automatic Access Timeout parameters are entered. An automatic access timeout time and
automatic access timeout strokes are entered. The time entered is the amount of time after the
last key stroke that will be allowed before the system will automatically log out the user. For
example, if the automatic access timeout is set to 60 seconds, the user will be logged out 60
seconds after the last key stroke. If the user presses a key before the 60 seconds have elapsed, a
new 60 second cycle will be started. The number of strokes that are entered is the number of
press strokes after the last key stroke that will be allowed before the system automatically logs
out the user. For example, if the automatic timeout is set to 10 strokes, the user will be logged
out when the press completes ten strokes after the last key stroke. If the user presses a key
before 10 strokes have been completed, a new 10 stroke cycle will be started.
