manage :: access
menu, or remotely with the
access local
<level>
command, in which case ‘public’ and ‘pri-
vate’ access are referred to as the levels ‘
on
’ and ‘
off
’.
Remote access control
This is analogous to local access (above), and affects who may use remote console access (see page 16) to control the unit.
The console command for managing remote access is:
access remote
<level>
Self access control
Self access allows the unit to interact with its systems. When self access is disabled, the unit is unable to use
@
commands,
remote access, or local access, even if it is self-owned. Self access can be controlled through either the
self access
op-
tion on the
manage :: access
menu, or the
access self
<state>
command, where
<state>
is
on
or
off
.
Note
: In the event that self access is unintentionally disabled, the command
@safeword
will allow the unit to regain
basic control over its systems. This command can only be used by the unit itself.
Locking
PIN-based locking prevents local access by all users (including the owner) until the correct PIN is entered on the touchscreen
or over the TTY menu interface. The PIN can be set in the
manage :: access :: set new PIN
menu. To lock the unit,
press
lock
on the
manage
screen, or execute the
lock
command.
Cancelling PIN changes
: Press the
clear
button to abort setting a new PIN.
Default value
: The default PIN is an empty string. If you accidentally lock the unit, simply press
enter
.
Autolock
: The unit can be configured to automatically lock itself after a certain period of inactivity, using either the
auto-
lock
item on the
manage :: access
menu, or the
autolock
command. The
autolock
command can also be used to
set the timeout interval, which defaults to 30 seconds.
