Programmer Port... and
ProMaster Port...
These screens allow you to change the configuration on the two RS-232C
ports on the PC, which are configured for the Programmer Port on COM
1 and the Handler port on COM 2 using no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop
bit. These settings should not need to be changed under normal
operation. If you do change the configuration, you must exit TaskLink to
save the new settings.
Set Message Editor...
This parameter must be set so TaskLink can find the ASCII text editor you
will be using to create your Kit messages. When you select this
command, TaskLink allows you to enter the DOS path and executable file
name to start your ASCII text editor. You must save these messages in an
unformatted text file called
tl.msg
. (Refer to page 3-36 for more
information on creating message screens for Kits.)
System Security
Using the security options, the system administrator can configure the
system so all users (administrators and operators) are required to enter a
password before they can access TaskLink menus and run the system. To
use the
Security Setup
menu, select
Options
from the Main menu. Then
select
System Security...
from the
Options
pull-down menu.
Press
↵
to access the
TaskLink Security Setup
dialog box.
Note: The security system used by TaskLink is DOS based, and is thus restricted
by the limitations imposed by that operating system.
Three levels of security are available:
1.
No security
—Equivalent to earlier versions of TaskLink, this level
allows any user to access either operator or administrator mode. This
is the default security level.
2.
Single Administrator Mode Password
—TaskLink requires a
password to enter the administrator mode. One common password is
used by any user to access this mode. No password is required to
operate TaskLink in operator mode.
