3.2 PASSWORD
PROTECTION
Access to the CyberCat system’s control and function switches are restricted by the enclosure door. With the
door closed and locked, responding personnel can only view system events on the panel display and use the
accessible EVENT STEP keys to filter through the systems event history. Opening the enclosure door
provides access to the systems Control and Function keys, which allows greater system operation
capabilities. With the enclosure door open, responding personnel have the ability to Silence or Acknowledge
system events, initiate Drill commands and Reset the system. In addition, the system operator has limited
access to the systems menus and features without needing to enter a system password.
Access to the CyberCat’s menu system is password protected to restrict access to those who require it. Each
CyberCat allows up to eight (8) User level passwords and a single System Administrator password to be
assigned by the system installer. The available security access levels are described as follows:
