  • Page 16: System Programming

    System Programming System programming is performed from five major menus: Administration, Keypad/Receiver, Alarm Actions, Time/Date/Titler and Video Switch Action. There is also an Install Defaults menu provided for Administrator use. From the Administration menus, up to 32 users may be defined to the system by a unique login identification number.

  • Page 17: Administration

    Note: On many of the programming screens, you will see “x / -” at the bottom of the screen. The “x / -” instructions refer to the plus (+) and minus (-) keys, respectively, on your programming keyboard. Administration The Administration Menus are used to specify supervisory parameters such as user privileges, host computer configuration and timed events.

  • Page 18: Set User Profiles

    Set User Profiles User profiles contain the information necessary to identify each user in the system. The three privilege levels are Operator, Manager, and Administrator. Operator privileges allow a user to operate the system but do not allow access to programming screens. Typically, a configuration will contain more users with operator privileges than with manager or administrator privileges.

  • Page 19: Privilege

    Privilege A privilege level must be specified for each user login ID. The system accepts up to 64 users, 3 of which may have administrator privilege. Administrators may access all programming screens. Managers may access all programming screens except for the Administration, System Diagnostics, and Install Default Menus. Users with operator privilege are denied access to all programming screens.
