OPERATOR ACCESS LEVELS

Operator access levels 1 through 4 are available to support the system. Level 1 is
the lowest operator access level and does not require a passcode to be entered to
access functions identified at this level. Level 2 through 4 require a passcode of the
required level or higher to be entered prior to performing the passcode protected
function. Controlling actions may be classified with access levels 2 through 4.
Routine actions are assigned to low access levels while access level 4 is reserved
for special, highly sensitive operations (normally reserved for Simplex personnel).
Entering a level 4 passcode enables you to access all the functions of the system.
A valid passcode must contain a minimum of 3 digits and not more than 10 digits.
The available digits are 0 through 9. Passcodes are specified during order entry;
then, programmed during system configuration. When passcodes are not specified,
the following default passcodes are assigned.
LEVEL PASSCODE
1

The operator access level defaults to level 1 when power is first applied to the
system, after 10 minutes of keypad inactivity, and when the user elects to log out.
The <SYSTEM RESET> key press has no effect upon the access level.
The only way to increase the operator access level in the system is to select the
"Change Access Level?" option in the Main Function Menu. Decreasing the level
resets system access level to 1. Increasing the level requires a valid level 2, 3 or 4
passcode. The user is prompted to enter a passcode. The input is compared to all
the valid system codes, and the system operator access level is set accordingly. If
an invalid code is input, you will be notified with the message "ERROR. . . INVALID
PASSCODE", and will be allowed up to three chances to enter a valid code. After
three unsuccessful tries, the message "ACCESS DENIED" will be displayed for a
short time. The access level will not be altered, but you will no longer be in the
"Change Access Level" menu option.
If a correct passcode is entered, the message "ACCESS GRANTED" is displayed.
The new operator access level will be in effect until the keypad is inactive for 10
minutes or you manually reset the level through the "Change Access Level" option.
