required to execute that command with the user level for user 000. If user 000 is set to be level
7, they will be able to execute any command in the controller without logging on. This is how
the password system is disabled when the controller is shipped or after you re-initialize. If user
000 is set to level 0, they will only be able to execute level 0 commands (like recalling the
time) without logging on. If user 000 is set to level 2, they will be able to use the autopatch
without logging on.
If you decide you want to enable the password system, you should first set up a password for
yourself and assign yourself a user level (see command 186):
Example:
186 001 1 7 0 1234 ; user 001, enabled, level 7, fixed password 1234
Now you can try logging in. First check and see if anyone else is logged in by entering
Command 188 and unkeying. Now log in by entering Command "187 001 1234", where 187 is
the login command, 001 is your user number and 1234 is your password. The controller should
respond and tell you that it accepted the command. Now enter Command 188 and note that you
are logged in. Now logout by entering Command 189 and unkeying. Command 188 will
confirm that you are no longer logged in. You will also be logged out automatically if you do
not enter a valid command for 60 seconds (you can change the automatic logout timer with
Command 020).
Example:
Set up user 002 as a control operator (or yourself for now). Assign them a different password.
186 002 1 6 0 4321 ; user 002, enabled, level 6, fixed password 4321
Try logging in as user 002. It is important to set up and test two different users before
continuing to enable the password system, to prevent you from accidently locking yourself out
of the controller.
187 002 4321 ; log in as user 002
189 ; log out
Remember that when no one is logged in, the controller considers you to be user 000. Up to
this point, user 000 has been a level 7 user and could execute any command. Now we will
change user 000 to a level 0 user, so that only level 0 commands like reading the time can be
executed without logging on. Make sure you have followed the example up to this point and
can log on as a level 6 or 7 user, or this will lock you out of the controller.
186 000 1 0 ; enable the password system
To disable the password system (you may have to log on first):
186 000 1 7 ; disable the password system
