EXCALIBUR SE SYSTEM SETUP
EXCALIBUR SE SYSTEM SETUP PROGRAM
Excalibur SE System Setup is the program that defines system
data used by Excalibur SE and its related modules. This
program is password protected and should only be accessed
only by persons authorized to make permanent configuration
changes to the system.
Excalibur SE System Setup is started by opening its icon in the
Excalibur SE Program Group. After the System Setup window
is opened, a dialog box is displayed, as illustrated below,
asking for a password.
Enter the password from the keyboard and press the enter key.
Passwords are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as
entered during the setup for each operator. The default
password for initial setup is "UltraMax" (see Initial Setup
Notes, next section).
Following correct entry of the password, System Setup
determines if the data directory has been defined for the
system. If the directory is not defined, the user is prompted to
go directly to the Set Directory function (page 2-3).
If the data directory has been defined, the System Setup
window is cleared and any of the setup functions can be
selected from the menu bar. Excalibur SE System Setup
program provides the following functions in its menu bar:
Set Directory
Set Ports
Operators
Maps
Logs (not available in SE version)
Sound Files
Video (not available in SE version)
About
Exit
Each menu function is selected by clicking the mouse pointer
on the menu bar name or by pressing the Alt key plus the key
that is underlined in the menu name. The Logs and Video
menu entries cannot be selected in the Excalibur SE version.
The "About" function in any of the Excalibur SE programs
displays a Copyright box identifying the program version
being executed.
INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP NOTES:
1. When the Excalibur SE System Setup program is started for
the first time, a default password, "UltraMax", must be
entered. Passwords are case-sensitive, thus 'U' and 'M'
must be typed as capitals in this password. This password
is only valid when the OPERATOR.SDB file (created by
the Operators function, page 2-6) does not exist or has a
length of zero bytes.
Note: Since this is the default password into the system,
this information, should be restricted.
2. When Excalibur SE System Setup is first started and a data
directory has not been defined, an information box is
displayed indicating that there is no data directory for
System Setup. Select "OK" from this information box to go
directly to the Set Directory function, page 2-3.
3. When the system is being set up for the first time, it is
necessary to define at least one operator using the Operators
function, page 2-6. This operator must have Operator
Setup, System Setup, and Supervisor privileges.
4. When the Operators or Maps functions of System Setup
(pages 2-6 and 2-7) is selected and no data has been entered
for that function, an error message is displayed indicating
error reading the file. This error message, illustrated below,
can be ignored until the user enters the proper setup data.
If this message is displayed after any setup data has been
properly entered and saved, the error indicates a loss of that
data, and the appropriate information should be re-entered
to correct the problem. This error message may be
displayed if the data directory has been changed to a
directory that does not contain valid Excalibur SE data files.
Before re-creating maps and data files, ensure that the data
directory is set properly (page 2-3).
