Terminal
Manager
To prevent unauthorized use of the Verix Terminal Manager menus, the VX 520
terminal OS requires a system password each time you enter terminal manager.
To access the Verix Terminal Manager password entry screen, simultaneously
press the F2 and the F4 keys.The default, factory-set system password is “1,
Alpha, Alpha, 66831.” After entering the correct password, the terminal enters the
terminal manager and displays the first terminal manager main menu,
VERIX
TERMINAL MGR MENU 1
. You can now toggle through all three terminal manager
main menus by pressing or the PF1 and PF2 keys.
File Groups
The VX 520 Verix operating system implements a file system in RAM and in flash
memory. Files are assigned to one of the groups for access control. Groups are
similar to computer directories---in that different applications can be stored in
separate file groups, just like different computer applications can be stored in
separate directories. Groups are referred to as Group n or GIDn throughout this
manual.
Each group is protected by a separate password, and each has a separate
CONFIG.SYS file. The following rules apply to the VX 520 file group system:
• The primary application must be downloaded into Group 1.
• On terminal power up and after a restart, the terminal defaults to Group 1 as
the controlling group.
• Group 1 applications have access to files stored in all groups. Other
applications can reside in Groups 2–14.
• Applications in a group other than Group 1 have access only to themselves
and files stored in Group 15.
• Group 15 is globally accessible, making it an ideal location for files shared by
multiple applications, such as shared libraries.
• File Groups 1–15 are empty until they are filled through a download to the VX
520 terminal.
For more information on managing file groups, refer to the Verix V Operating
System Programmers Manual (VPN 23230).
