4.6.6 Security Access

Access to Vertex functions is granted according to a
permission list which is stored in an HMI user account.
See Section 4.4.1 Log in and Log out
Changing Password for more information about HMI-
level security. Only users authorized to access Security
Setup may create or change user accounts. The system
administrator assigns permission to Security Window
and other protected functions by using the Security
Setup menu.
The Vertex System is pre-programmed with two
user accounts: "default" and "administrator". The
administrator password is "administrator". Quotation
marks should be included.
The default user account is pre-programmed to have
full access. The default account "security access" bit
and other bits must be turned off to make HMI-level
security effective.
Note
The Security Setup function is only accessible if the
user ID currently logged in has Security Setup bit set
to Y (yes), or activated.
Several user accounts can be created with limited access
rights to allow personnel to install Chemcassettes
These accounts need not use the administrator
password and thus cannot be used to deactivate
monitoring for long periods.
Nonetheless, Chemcassette
