Using MasterConsole II Security Feature
You can restrict access to MasterConsole II. The Administration Menu is used to turn security
on/OFF and to change the Administrator's Password and the five authorized user passwords. Up
to six passwords can be defined - one Administration Password and five User Passwords.
Note: If security is ON, and the system remains idle (no keyboard, mouse, or
front panel operation for a time interval set by the user-default is 15 minutes), the
next user must enter a user password to establish access. By default,
MasterConsole II operates with security OFF.
Passwords
Only the Administrator's password provides access to the Administration Menu, which is
accessed to turn security on/off and to change passwords. If you use the security feature, be sure
to record and store passwords where they will be handy to you and other authorized users.

USER PASSWORD
