Introduction
1/4 MASTER USER’S GUIDE
the lockout period expires. The user cannot circumvent the lockout
period by turning off the computer; the security system keeps track
of elapsed time even when the computer is turned off.
Optionally, an alarm can be set to sound after four invalid logons
(that is, during the second and subsequent lockouts).
Who are the “Master” users?
At least one user account must be given “Master” status. A Master
user can logon at any time and is always allowed to access the LOC
Technology Setup utility. A Master user account can never expire,
nor can it be given the Quick Logon facility (in other words, some
authentication is always required).
What other features are there?
Ownership string
An ownership string identifies the owner of the computer, whether
it is a person or an organization. The string is prominently displayed
every time the computer is turned on or rebooted. The string cannot
be altered or deleted except by those users who are permitted access
to LOC Technology Setup.
The purpose of the ownership string is to deter theft by making the
provenance of the computer clear.
Logon statistics
The total number and last recorded date of both valid logons and
invalid logon attempts are displayed after each successful logon.
These statistics can be reset from within LOC Technology Setup.
This information can aid the detection of attempts to breach
security.
What happens if the Security Card is removed or substituted?
If the Apricot LS Security Card is removed from the computer, the
computer will detect the absence of the card and refuse to boot.
