SECTION 2: MONITOR SECURITY ACTIVITY

 

 

NOTE

1.The control parameter is read by the alarm servicing program at log-on time and remains in effect as long as the alarm program is active. A change to the Timeout value does not take effect until the user logs off, and then logs back on to the system (reboots).

2.Timeout is deactivated when responding to an alarm in the alarm response screen.

Monitoring Security - Passwords

With enhanced monitor security function and the addition of password logic, any or all portions of the monitor functions can be set up to require a valid ID and password combination before the function can be initiated. In place of the factory-supplied status login, the user may create a similar login ID, with or without password, and control access to monitor capabilities. While many operators may use the generic login, individual users will have only monitor privileges consistent with their own custom security profiles.

This feature uses the PASSWORD keyword parameter located in the $DATAPATH/MONITOR file. The acceptable values are:

PASSWORD keyword missing

—

Feature disabled

PASSWORD=0

—

Feature disabled (default)

PASSWORD=1

—

Feature enabled

This feature also requires that the user has a custom security profile. See also note #1 regarding system upgrades with users created on an earlier version of the software.

Implementing the Feature

For additional information see Chapter 6, Adding a User.

1.Log on using an assigned login name and password, or use a generic login name (and optional password) as required by facility procedures.

2.With the password feature enabled, any action attempted from the monitor for which permission has not been granted causes the system to prompt for a login name and password.

3.If the login name and password entered are valid, the associated security profile initiates the action requested (see note #4).

4.If the feature is disabled or an incorrect login / password is entered, the system displays

PERMISSION DENIED.
