use the Autolog ID option and you do not want to use
USERIDs and PASSWORDs. If this is the case you will not
see the logon screen and should ignore this section.
The logon screen has a flashing cursor after the word
Userid:. Type your USERID there.
After you type the USERID, press the NL key. The cursor
moves to the next line after the word Password:. Type your
PASSWORD there. Your password is secret so whatever you
type will not be displayed. Don't be alarmed.
When you have typed both your USERID and your
PASSWORD, press the ENTER key. If you have entered
your USERID and PASSWORD correctly and have not
changed the Environment: eMS field, the computer will do
some processing and display the word Ready; which indicates
the local session is active and you may skip the remainder of
this section.
If you did not type a USERID, and one is required, or the
one you entered cannot be found by the computer, the alarm
will sound and an error message will be displayed. This
message will inform you that the USERID you entered is not
valid and position the cursor for you to enter it again.
If you did not type a PASSWORD, and one is required, or
the PASSWORD you typed does not match your USERID,
the alarm will sound and a message will be displayed. The
message will inform you that a PASSWORD is required or
the one you entered is not valid and position the cursor for
you to enter it again:
The third line on the Logon Screen is Environment: CMS. If
you press the ENTER key without changing the word CMS,
the CMS environment will be started automatically. CMS
stands for Conversational Monitor System. CMS is part of
the VM/PC system. It provides a variety of tools to help you
do your job. If you should change the word CMS to anything
else, the computer will search its files to find the
environment you selected. Do not change the word CMS
unless you are told to do so.
