ACCOUNT
This function is used to set usernames and passwords for the
administrator and users:
One Administrator and 10 user passwords can be set.
After you select the administrator field or one of the user fields, a
screen that allows you to key in your username and password
appears. The username and password may be up to 16 characters
long, and can consist of any combination of letters and numbers (A–
Z, 0–9).
For each individual, key in the username and password, then press
[Enter].
To modify or delete a previous username and/or password, use the
backspace key to erase individual letters or numbers.
The icon indicates data is stored in the account.

ACCESSIBLE
PORTS
This function allows the administrator to define user access to the
computers on the installation on a port-by-port basis.
For each user, select the target port, then press the [Spacebar] to cycle
through the choices: F (Full access), V (View Only), or N (No Access).
Repeat until all access rights have been set, then press [Esc]. The
default is F for all users on all ports.
Note: An N setting means that no access rights are granted. The port
will not show up on the user's LIST on the Main Screen.
SET
OPERATION
MODE
This function defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple
users have logged on. Press [Spacebar] to cycle through the settings,
as follows:
E (Exclusive): The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control
over the port. No other users can view the port. The Timeout function
does not apply to ports which have this setting.
O (Occupy): The first user to switch to the port has control over the
port. However, additional users may view the port’s video display. If
the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set
in the Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user to
move the mouse or strike the keyboard.
S (Share): Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input
from the users is placed in a queue and executed chronologically.
