MNI 3600 REFERENCE MANUAL 39
• The primary application must be downloaded into Group 1.
• On terminal power up and after a restart, the terminal defaults to Group 1 as
the controlling group.
• Group 1 applications have access to files stored in all groups. Other
applications can reside in Groups 2 through 14.
• Applications in a group other than Group 1 have access only to themselves
and files stored in Group 15.
• Group 15 is globally accessible, making it an ideal location for files shared by
multiple applications, such as shared libraries.
• File Groups 1 through 15 are empty until they are filled through a download to
the Omni 3600 terminal.
For more information on managing file groups, refer to the Verix Programmer’s
Manual (VeriFone P/N 19733).
Passwords
System Password
In SYS MODE MENU 3, you can select a procedure to change the default password
to a unique and more secure password. Once you set a new system password, be
sure to secure a copy of the new password.
A valid system password may consist of one to ten alphanumeric characters. You
can change the system password at any time, provided you know what the current
password is.
When you key in the system password to enter system mode, an asterisk (*)
appears on the display for each character you type. These asterisks prevent your
password from being seen by an unauthorized person. You can use the ALPHA
key to change the characters or symbols you enter; this does not cause additional
asterisks to appear.
File Group
Passwords
From manufacture, each file group uses the default password “Z66831,” entered
as:
CAUTION
If you change a password and then forget it, there is no password recovery
method. Without the password, you are unable to access system mode operations
and may be prevented from requesting a download, performing remote
diagnostics, or changing any of the information already stored in memory. The
terminal can, however, continue to process transactions in normal mode.
If you forget or lose the system password to your terminal, please contact your
local VeriFone representative for assistance.
NOTE
Some application program downloads automatically reset the system password. If
your system password no longer works, check if a download has changed your
password.
