System Logoff Procedure
The system logoff procedure should be performed any time the system terminal is not being
used. This assures the system translations will not be accidentally corrupted. To log off the sys-
tem, type
logoff
and press [RETURN]. The system automatically disconnects you from the sys-
tem.
If the user logs off
at a terminal located within 50 feet from the switch, the system will automati-
cally request a login. The terminal user accessing the maintenance board, data channel, or Net-
con channel will be disconnected from the system when
logoff
is typed in. These users must
dial up the system in order to access the system.
How to Change Your Password
Password administration allows the user to change the password used to access the system.
This section provides the steps required to change a password.
The password should be changed if another person has discovered it. It should also be changed
if someone has gained access to the system and made changes to features that could alter busi-
ness transactions.
The System Manager's password must be obtained from the installation organization responsible
for installing the system. The login name cannot be administered.
The System Manager's password should also be changed each time a new person takes over the
System Manager role. The password can be changed once the user has logged onto the sys-
tem.
Do not give out passwords to anyone. Keep passwords in a locked place. Change passwords
periodically, at least every six months.
