Until a system database has been initially set up, no passwords will have been assigned. The
password NEW, however, is preprogrammed at the factory and can be used to permit logging
on for database setup purposes. To log on to a system before initial database setup, proceed
as follows:
1. After the Alto 818 power module and terminal have been turned on (Sections 8.2 and 8.3),
press Enter or the space bar to enter the command mode.
2. The screen displays:
YOUR PASSWORD?
Type NEW and press Enter. If 10 seconds elapse without a password being entered, the
screen displays:
TIMEOUT
Press Enter or the space bar to display the password prompt again.
YOUR PASSWORD?
3. After NEW has been properly entered, the screen displays:
HELLO
TYPE HELP FOR A LIST OF COMMANDS
YOUR COMMAND?
This display indicates that the operator has been logged on. The system is now ready to
accept commands.
