Using MasterConsole II Security Feature
You can restrict access to MasterConsole II. The Administration Menu is used to turn security on/OFF and
to change the Administrator's Password and the five authorized user passwords. Up to six passwords can be
defined - one Administration Password and five User Passwords.
Note: If security is ON, and the system remains idle (no keyboard, mouse, or front panel
operation for a time interval set by the user-default is 15 minutes), the next user must
enter a user password to establish access. By default, MasterConsole II operates with
security OFF.
Passwords
Only the Administrator's password provides access to the Administration Menu, which is accessed to turn
security on/off and to change passwords. If you use the security feature, be sure to record and store
passwords where they will be handy to you and other authorized users.

USER PASSWORD
