Scenario 2: Re-entering a password
The object
Action Button
in H-Designer also allows the designer to create a but-
ton which asks the user to re-enter a password.
For example, by pressing the
button the password keypad will be displayed
to prompt the user to enter a password. After entering the password, the opera-
tor terminal will update the user level according to the most recent password
which has been entered. Therefore, this button can be applied to raise or drop
one’s privileges while the operator terminal is in operation.
How to configure an
Action Button
is described in the H-Designer User’s
Manual.
Scenario 3: Password-protecting a button in the operator terminal
The designer can create a button which is protected by a password for execution.
For example, a
Goto Screen
button can be designed with a high level of security;
which means that a password with a high level of privilege is required in order
to open the other screen. As the button is selected and the current user has a low-
er privilege than has been set for the button, the operator terminal will prompt
the user for a password. The user will need a password with at least the level of
privilege that has been set for the button. This function can restrict users to ac-
cess to certain parts of the application.
Scenario 4: Requiring a password to copy or upload application
When selecting
Copy
in the system menu or
File/Upload Application
in
H-Designer, the operator terminal will prompt for a password. The user will
need to enter the correct password to copy an application from one H-T40m to
another. Note that setting this password is different from the passwords set in
Scenarios 1-3. To set this password, select
Application/Workstation Setup
in
H-Designer. Under the
Password
tab, the designer is able to set the password.
