Windows, Panels, and
Menus
In NonStop NET/MASTER MS, you can divide your physical screen into two logical
screens called windows. Each window operates independently of the other, enabling
you to perform multiple functions concurrently.
A panel is a formatted display that partially or completely overlays a window. A
panel can be used to:
Retrieve and present information, such as panels displaying online help and user
ID information.
Receive information, such as panels used for defining user ID information to
NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
A menu is a panel that displays a list of options. The options allow you to choose
what you want to do next. Each option can initiate another menu or function.
Before You Can Log
On to NonStop
NET/MASTER MS
Before you can log on to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS product, your system
manager must add information about you to the database of NonStop NET/MASTER
MS users. This information is referred to collectively as your user ID definition
record, and includes the following:
Personal information, such as your name, location, telephone number, user ID,
and password.
Security information, which determines the NonStop NET/MASTER MS facilities
and commands you are allowed to use. Two important aspects of your user ID
definition record are:
Authorized functions that define which options you are allowed to select from
the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu and which functions you are
allowed to perform within the various NonStop NET/MASTER MS options.
An authority level that determines which NonStop NET/MASTER MS
commands you are allowed to issue, which Guardian utilities and other
external applications you are able to access from within NonStop
NET/MASTER MS, and which commands within external applications you
are allowed to use.
Your user ID definition record also determines attributes such as whether:
You can log on to remote systems in addition to your local system
Your access to NonStop NET/MASTER MS is restricted to specific terminals
You are allowed to log on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS dynamically from any
terminal
You must change your password periodically
All the fields in your user ID definition record are discussed in detail in Section 2,
“User ID Management Services (UMS).”
