Convert System Messages

Therefore user names that contain spaces will be processed incorrectly. For example, consider the

following entry:

John<space>Smith<tab> sesame<tab> 1.1.1.1

“John” is processed as the user name, “Smith” is processed as the password, and “sesame” is

processed as the IP address. Convert will accept sesame for the IP address. However, once the user

is selected in the Client interface and changes have been made, an invalid IP address error will

occur when the user is saved to the database.

Note: The IP address is optional.

UTHENTICATION METHOD

For device level authentication methods, the choices are PAP, CHAP, CLID, CPP, NT, or none.

ILE NAME, INCLUDING PATH, OF THE DATA FILE

The Data File must be transferred to the Windows NT machine that the SFVRA database resides or

on a network that the NT machine has access. Include the path and file name of the Data File. Valid

for data file conversion.

CONVERT SYSTEM MESSAGES

The Convert system messages are divided into four types: error, warning, informational and

interrogative. These messages have the title Convert: <Number>. The type of message is indicated

by the number and by different symbols on the dialog box. Messages are numbered using the

following scheme:

Warning Messages: 2000-2999

Each message is listed individually, grouped by type, and listed by number with suggested actions

to take in the event of an error.
