Configuring DTE Protection
3-4
This is important because the protected processor scans the file
completely, from the first to the last element, when verifying the
file as well as when screening the DTEP-screened commands.

These ranges are entered in decimal by default. If you are entering a range
from one of the I/O image files, you can press
F1 — Change Radix then
F2 — Octal Data and enter the range in octal. When you change back to
decimal, the conversion is done for you.

Important: The validity of your protection-range entries is not checked
when you enter them via data monitor, but they are validated when a
screened command is received from an end user during online programming.
If they are not valid:
• an error code is returned
• a minor fault (S:17/12) is set
You, as system administrator, must follow the steps on page 3-8 to force
validation of these entries before turning the system over to end users.
Tip
Even if you, as system
administrator, have
already removed the
privilege to write to a
data-table file, you can
still protect it with DTEP
and benefit from DTEP’s
more extensive protection
features (e.g., against
unauthorized writes by end-
user output instructions).
