User number 0 is the default user. When you sign on, you are required to enter
both a password and a user number. The only exception is if you sign on with
the password for user 0. With user 0’s password, you do not have to also enter 0
as your user number. User number 0 will automatically be assigned to you by
the Site Controller. This is the most common way of signing onto the data
terminal.
User number 1 is the default remote-host user number. By default, remote
computers using CFN host-mode communications sign on as user 1. If your site
will be connected to a remote CFN host we strongly recommend that you
reserve user number 1 for use only by the remote host. You can set the
permission level for user number 1 to whatever is appropriate. If you reset
transactions from the remote host, or download prices or lockouts, or do
maintenance, you probably need to give the remote host a high permission level,
perhaps level 9.
How to Add a User
Use the command ADD SIGNON or AD SIG to add a new user to the system.
You also use ADD SIGNON to change a user’s permission level or sign-on
code. You specify the user number, permission level, and sign-on code.
Asterisks (*) are printed for each character of the sign-on code as you enter it.
For security, pick a sign-on code that is hard to guess. Do not use the site’s
name, the user’s name, or any other obvious sign-on code. Sign-on codes may
be up to 16 characters long and may include alphabetic, numeric, and special
characters. Remember, the
↵ sign indicates that you are to press the ENTER key.
What you type in is shown in bold. Asterisks are echoed by the Site Controller
in place of your password for security purposes.
1 Type: ADD SIGNON
2 Enter the user number.
3 Enter the permission level.
4 Enter the signon code for this user.
User IDs that will be used to sign on to the Check Point console should have
numeric sign-on codes, since the Check Point console does not have a
convenient way to enter alphabetic characters.
