Publication 2706–816
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.
