Operator Failed Login Alarms
An alarm is raised when an operator enters an incorrect password or when the
number of specified login attempts is exceeded. You can set the priority of these
alarms. You might want to set the priority of an operator lockout alarm to Urgent
while you might want to set the priority to journal when an operator enters an
incorrect password.
To set the priority of operator alarms:
1
On the System Configuration Menu display, click Alarm and Point
Processing.
2
On the Alarm and Point Processing display, click the Alarm Priorities tab.
3
On the Alarm Priorities display, set the required priorities for Operator
Logon. The Operator Logon alarm indicates when an operator has entered
an incorrect password.
4
On the Alarm Priorities display, set the required priorities for Operator
Lockout. The Operator Lockout alarm indicates the operator has exceeded
the number of login attempts and does not have access to the PlantScape
system.
