SETUP PASSWORDS SCREEN


SETUP PASSWORDS SCREEN

A password is a combination of up to 12 letters, numbers, and symbols, used to allow authorized personnel access to various operations and screens. The password feature can be an option and might not be used at your site. Password protection is inactive unless the password feature is installed and the Install user is defined.

Eight password levels provide access to specific operations and menus. Levels 3 — 7 are user-defined levels. Table 1, " Password Levels " summarizes the four levels of password authorization.
