Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual
7.16 Security
To change the default supervisory level password – the default is 123456 – for the
terminal:
• Position the cursor on the ‘Security’ parameter and press <F1>.
7.16.1 Sup. Password
• At the ‘Sup. Password’ parameter, type a supervisory level password
that will be easy for you to remember (but not easy for your colleagues
to discover). The password can include a maximum of six alphabetic and/or
numeric characters.
• Press <F4> to save the new password.
Important: Once you choose a password, it is critical that you set all the
terminals to the same password, write down your password and
keep it in a secure place.
If you lose your password, your terminal parameters can only be
changed by Psion Teklogix personnel. However, Psion Teklogix
can only help you if the ‘Allow Teklogix’ parameter was set to
“Y”. Refer to “Allow Teklogix” on page 194 for details.
7.16.2 Allow Teklogix
Setting this parameter to “Y” allows Psion Teklogix personnel to use their support
level password to access terminal parameters. If “Allow Teklogix” is set to “N”, only
your supervisory level password can be used to access your terminal parameters.
Warning: If you set this parameter to “N”, the Psion Teklogix support level
password will be rejected. Keep in mind that if you then lose your
supervisory level password, you will need to clear the entire
configuration setup on all terminals to gain access to the
parameter menus.
