Logging On and Off

Before starting, ensure that the Endura workstation is configured to work on an Endura network. For information on network requirements, consult the Endura Network Design Guide.
To start the application, double-click the Endura icon on the desktop. A login dialog box appears. If the system manager (SM5000) is online, enabling the authentication of users and devices, a small key icon appears in the lower right-hand corner.
Logging on loads your user profile, including language preferences. When you start the WS5000 application, the Login screen automatically appears. You cannot access the application if you do not have a valid user name and password.
When logging on to an Endura network that includes an SM5000, the default user name is admin and the default password is admin. To keep your system secure, be sure to change the default passwords. Record your new login information in a secure location.
To log on:
1. Type your Endura user name.
2. Type your password.
3. Click OK. If the OK button is not available, you must synchronize with the
system manager. To do so, click the Synchronize button on the Login screen. A message displays after the system manager has been located, and
the OK button will be available for you to log on to the system.
NOTE: User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
After you log on to the system, the main screen appears, and the devices on your network start to load. Depending on the size of your network, the process may take a few minutes. Check the lower-left corner of the application screen to see the status of the device-loading process.
NOTE: Every Endura user may be assigned one or more roles; each role has permission to access a particular set of Endura devices and WS5000 features. If, when you log in, you do not see a device or system feature you expect to see, contact the system administrator to find out whether your permissions should be edited to expand your access.
To exit the program, select Exit or Logout from the File menu. The system logs you off, closes the application, and displays the desktop.
