Instruction manual

When the account is created, it is assigned a DLS-1 Identifier by DLS-2. The

DLS-1 Identifier is an 8 digit number that is used with DLS-1 accounts when

editing, printing, or executing the batch file for the account. This number is

used as a means of identifying where the DLS-1 account can be found within

DLS-2. The Identifier can be read as follows:

01 002 004

Account Manager Folder Account

Group Number Number Number

Account Manager Group Number

This 2 digit number is used to identify which Account Manager Group the

account can be found in. This number can be any number from 01 - 98. In this

example, the number 01 indicates that the account specified by the identifier

is found in the first Account Manager Group.

Folder Number

This 3 digit number is used to identify which folder the account can be found

in. This number can be any number from 000 - 149. The first folder created in

any Account Manager Group will always be folder number 000, and each

folder that is created after the first will be one folder number higher that the

previous folder. In this example, the number 002 is used to indicate that the

account specified by the identifier is found in the third folder of the first

Account Manager Group (01).

Account Number

This 3 digit number is used to identify the account. This number can be any

number from 000 - 199. The first account created in any folder will always be

account number 000. Each account created after account 000 will be one

number higher than the previous account. In this example, the 5th account is

being specified (004). It can be found in the third folder (002) of the first

Account Manager Group (01).

Create Account Via Template

New accounts may be based upon existing account files. To create a new account

based on an existing account, select the existing account and select “Create Account

Via Template” from the Account menu. An Account Information window will be

displayed; the data in all the fields except for the account name will be the same as the

existing file. Enter a new account name in the Account Name field.

When an account is used as a template, all account information from the selected

account will be used to create the new account. The account information for the new

account will be exactly the same as the template account (e.g. All Signature Information

will be copied, all Status Information, Diagnostics, etc.). Only the Event Buffer and

Physical Location of Module information are not copied from the account that is used

as a template account.
