It is strongly recommended not to modify these values, or only directed to do so by the manufacturer, CYBELEC company or one of its agents. We also recommend to keep a written copy of this data so that any technician can re-program the original values if necessary.
ROGRAMMING PERATING PROCEDURE ! Introduction of data ! Trial product ! Corrections (eventual) of the product using the COR. page ! Storage (optional) of the product ! Production LEARING THE BUFFER ! To enter a new program into the buffer (work memory) it is best to clear its contents before entering new data.

RANSMISSION For transfer to an IBM PC by serial line the DNC 60 must be equipped with the option RS232. Backup The PC must be equipped with the CYBACK storage software. CYBACK allows to make a backup of the data in the DNC without intervention on the data on the PC's level.
RS 232 transmission cable Shield: connection on the metallic hood Blindage: connexion sur le capot métallique Abschirmung: Anschluss an Metallhülse CYBACK For this program the RS cable must be connected on the RS232 port of the J5 plug. The transmission parameters must be programmed on the DNC with the same values as for the test of the serial ports (see paragraph above).

ROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS ENERAL NFORMATION Depending on the version, the DNC 60 can or can not be equipped with a 4-positions physical key. However the protection levels 0-1-2 and 3 still exist. For the case where the physical key doesn't exist, the access is made by password.
After installing the machine it is advised to modify the password by default of level 4 (WSSUPER = Workshop supervisor) and of level 3 (EUL3 = Operators with authorization level 3), because the passwords are in this manual. PAGE 50 USER GUIDE DNC 60 GS...
CCESS BY PASSWORD By starting the software, the virtual key is always positioned at 0. ! Choose the level to access by pressing one of the combinations ! The message VALUE ? appears. ! Introduce the password and press the key to validate the password.
If his access level enables him, he can call the procedure of password modification (see next paragraph). ! At the end of the intervention, don't forget to pass to level 0 in order to leave the current level. PAGE 52 USER GUIDE DNC 60 GS...
HANGE PASSWORD It is possible to modify the passwords attributed by default. Certain users can do it for themselves, others not. In order to know the authorizations, see Table of users, access and passwords. To change a password: ! Press the keys combination ! The message LEVEL ? appears.
