User settings (Security)
This chapter explains the following settings and operations: the User Level settings that restrict access
to the parameters by certain users, the Console Lock function that temporarily denies access to the
console, the Preference settings that customize the operating environment, and Save/Load operations
using a USB flash drive.
User Level settings
User Level settings allow you to restrict the parameters that can be operated by each user, or to change
the settings of USER DEFINED keys and preference settings for each user. Settings for each user can be
stored as a “user authentication key” inside the console or together on a USB flash drive, allowing users
to be switched easily. This can be convenient in the following situations.
• Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented.
• The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be limited.
• In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. can be
locked to prevent unintended operations.
• Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.
User types and user authentication keys
There are three types of user, as follows. To operate the CL series console, you must log-in as a user.
• Administrator ...........The administrator of the CL console can use all of its functionality. Only
one set of Administrator settings is internally maintained in the console.
The Administrator can create user authentication keys for other users.
Even if the console was locked by another user, the administrator can use
the administrator password to unlock it.
• Guest ...........................A Guest can use only the range of functionality permitted by the
Administrator. Only one set of Guest settings is maintained inside the
console.
• User..............................A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the
Administrator. User settings are saved internally or on a USB flash drive
as user authentication keys. Multiple sets of user settings (up to ten in
internal memory) can be saved, each with the desired user name. A User
who has Power User privileges can create or edit user authentication keys
with a specified user level.
When a user logs in, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the following
information.
Privileges for each user are as follows.
Setting the Administrator password
With the factory settings, the Administrator password is not set, meaning that anyone can log in with
Administrator privileges and perform all operations. If you want to restrict the operations of other
users, you must specify an Administrator password.
