TECHNICIAN MODE
Technician Mode provides access to
extra areas of the main application
and allows certain restrictions to be
placed upon operators.
For example, technicians may lock certain
output ports to ensure the patches are
never overridden by an operator.
Supervisors, Technicians and Users
There is a hierarchy of three user types
in the system. Users are the lowest in
the hierarchy and have normal access
rights to operational and system settings.
Technicians are given access to more
critical system settings and operational
features and can change their passwords
once logged in. Supervisors have the
same access as technicians, but also
have the ability to create and delete other
supervisors and technicians.
Accessing Technician Mode
To access technician mode, navigate to
the TECH section of the main application
as shown in Fig 1. When in normal
user mode, the USER button should be
highlighted.
To log into technician mode, touch the
technician button to bring up a dialogue
box requesting a username and password.
Enter these details for any existing
supervisor or technician account and
touch the OK button.
If this is the first time that technician mode
has been accessed, or no supervisors
have been configured yet, you will be
prompted to create a supervisor account
by entering a new user name and
password.
Once this has been done, you should
now be logged in to technician mode. As
an indication of this, the TECHNICIAN
button should now be highlighted and the
TECH button on the main menu should be
flashing.
Managing technician/supervisor
accounts
There are three buttons on the USER
MODE screen which are available to
supervisors:
• ADD SUPERVISOR - Supervisors may
create other supervisors. Touching
this button will bring up a dialogue
prompting the new supervisor’s details
to be entered.
• ADD TECHNICIAN - Supervisors
may create new technician accounts.
Touching this button will bring
up a dialogue prompting the new
technician’s details to be entered.
• DELETE USER - Touching this button
will bring up a dialogue allowing the
supervisor to select a user to delete.
Both supervisors and technicians have
access to the CHANGE PASSWORD
button which brings up a dialogue in
which a new password can be entered.
Exiting Technician Mode
To exit technician mode, touch the USER
button. Attempts to enter Technician
Mode again will require entering a
username and password.
