Menu Passwords
To control access to the command menus, each menu has a unique password. This
password is requested as a part of the process for accessing each menu. A user must
enter the correct password for that menu to access that menu. The default menu
passwords are given in Table 7.
To increase the security of the Hand Reader, Recognition Systems recommends
changing the passwords for the command menus to new numbers. These password
numbers can be up to 10 digits long. This is done with the Set Passwords command
described on page 63.
Authority Level
A second method for controlling access to the command menus is through the use of
Authority Levels. Authority Levels control which command menus a user is allowed
to access; the higher the authority level a user is granted, the greater the number of
menus the user may access. Assign Authority Levels to users according to the types of
tasks to which they are assigned.
• Level 0 is for a user who does not need access to any of the command menus.
• Level 1 provides access to the Service command menu.
• Level 2 adds access to the Setup command menu to all previous access levels.
• Level 3 adds access to the Management command menu to all previous access
levels.
• Level 4 adds access to the Enrollment command menu to all previous access
levels.
• Level 5 adds access to the Security command menu to all previous access levels.
