This chapter briefly describes the features and capabilities of the USER-PAK option package.

Security Levels

When USER-PAK is installed in your Color CVIM module, access to the setup mode can require the use of a password. The password is entered through a pop-up keyboard which appears automatically when you attempt to enter the setup mode (as shown in Figure 2.1).

Chapter 2
Introduction to the USER–PAK Option
The USER-PAK option enables access to four different levels of interaction; we refer to these different levels as security levels. The different security levels allow for implementation of a hierarchical system of access to, and responsibility for the Color CVIM module setup.
Three security levels are defined within the setup mode, each allowing a different level of interaction with Color CVIM / USER-PAK features:
ADMINISTRATOR – Full access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
MANAGER – Mid-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
USER – Lower-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
Access to the above security levels is controllable through the assignment of a specific password for each level.
RUNTIME – Access to Color CVIM runtime menus and displays does
not require a password – this RUNTIME level of interaction can be considered as a fourth level of security.

Custom Menu Modifications

The USER-PAK option allows the ADMINISTRATOR to modify the Color CVIM module user-interface in two ways – through deletion of menu items from the Color CVIM pop-up menus, and/or modification of text.
Deletion: A menu item is marked for deletion at the ADMINISTRATOR level; menu items marked for deletion do not appear on the monitor screen at the USER level. Any subsequent menu(s) that would have been accessible through the use of the deleted menu item are unavailable as well.

Introduction to the USER–PAK Option

Custom Serial Port Messages

For communication between the Color CVIM module and a remote device, the Color CVIM module has two serial ports. With the USER-PAK option installed, you can create your own custom serial port messages for transmission through the serial port. The messages consist of ASCII characters. These messages can be transmitted automatically by the Color CVIM module upon the occurrence of a specified “event” – they need not be solicited (requested by command) by the connected device.
Figure 2.4 Creating custom serial port messages
You create serial port messages using the Config. Output feature, which becomes available on the Envir/Cam menu with the USER-PAK option installed.
Within each message you can send literal text, results and other data on specific tools, statistical data, and other information. You can also define the conditions under which a serial message is transmitted – the message can be sent after each inspection, or only upon certain conditions, such as the failure of a specific tool, for instance.

Introduction to the USER–PAK Option

Custom Runtime Displays

Runtime displays are those displays which appear on the monitor while the Color CVIM is operating in run mode. You create custom runtime displays by configuring “viewports,” using the Config. Output feature, which becomes available on the Envir/Cam menu with the USER-PAK option installed. You can select display borders and background color, and you define the viewport contents. Viewports can contain text, numerical data, line graphics, and real-time graphs. You also define the conditions under which viewport contents are displayed – the contents can be displayed after each inspection, or only upon certain conditions, such as the failure of a specific tool, for instance.

Copy and Paste Functions

Loading Color CVIM / USER-PAK Configurations

With the USER-PAK option installed, you can copy the settings from one gage or window to another using the Copy and Paste menu items which are part of the new USER-PAK menus, and which become part of the previous Color CVIM gage and window menus. You can also copy the contents of serial ports or viewports and their respective strings.

This chapter describes how to install the USER-PAK option in the Allen-Bradley 5370-CVIMC Color CVIM module, including the use of the two memory cards on which the USER-PAK option software resides.

The Two USER-PAK Memory Cards

Installing the USER-PAK Option

The USER-PAK option is provided on two separate memory cards. These two cards are labeled Installation / Key card and Setup card respectively. The purpose of each card is described below:
Installation / Key card This card serves two purposes: Use this card to
install the USER-PAK option into the Color CVIM module; use this card also to access the setup mode in the case of lost passwords.
Important: Because this card can be used to override the Color CVIM
system security (see Chapter 4), it is suggested that this card be kept in a secure place when not in use, and that access to this card be allowed only to the appropriate authorized personnel.
Setup card Insert this card into the Archive Memory slot after the
USER-PAK option has been installed. This card must remain in the Archive Memory slot during setup mode in order to access most of the USER-PAK option capabilities.
This section describes how to install the USER-PAK option. You need only install the USER-PAK option once; once installed, the USER-PAK option remains installed for all subsequent powerups.
To install the USER-PAK option in your Color CVIM module:
Remove DC power from the Color CVIM module.
Insert the Installation / Key card into the Archive Memory slot on the
Color CVIM module. Insert the end with the metal strip facing right (see Figure 3.1, page 3 – 2):

The loading process requires about 45 seconds, with each phase taking
about 15 seconds. When the loading process is complete, the Color CVIM module begins its normal powerup sequence.
Chapter 3
Installation
Verify that the USER-PAK option is installed by checking the title banner
on the monitor after power-up; if the USER-PAK option is installed, there is a message on the banner indicating the presence of the USER-PAK option.
Remove the Installation / Key card from the Archive Memory slot.
Card Security: Because the Installation / Key card can be used to
override the Color CVIM system security (see Chapter 4), it is suggested that this card be kept in a secure place when not in use, and that access to this card be allowed only to the appropriate authorized personnel.

Using the Setup Card

To access all of the USER-PAK features while in setup mode, the Setup card must be inserted.
To insert the Setup card:
Insert the Setup card into the Archive Memory slot on the Color CVIM
module with the cards metal strip facing right.
Leave the Setup card in the Archive Memory slot as required during your
configuration of the Color CVIM module.
Features for which Setup Card is not required: Most USER-PAK features require the Setup card be inserted; the only features which do not require the Setup card are Change Password (see Chapter 4), and the Copy and Paste feature for tools (see Chapter 9). When the Setup card must be inserted to access a feature, this is specifically stated as appropriate in this manual.
Removing the Setup Card: You may remove the Setup card from the Color CVIM module at any time – except when the Memory Active LED on the Color CVIM module is ON. The Memory Active LED goes ON during setup mode when certain USER-PAK features are used.
ATTENTION:
!
Do not remove the Setup card from the Archive Memory slot
when the Memory Active LED on the Color CVIM module is ON. Doing so will cause the Color CVIM module to shut down, which will result in the loss of your working configuration (the internally-stored configuration is not effected).
Restarting the Color CVIM module: If the Color CVIM module operation has shut down due to Setup card removal with the Memory Active LED ON, restart the Color CVIM module when appropriate by cycling Color CVIM module power off and on again.

Some Questions and Answers about System Security

This section introduces security by posing some questions and answers.
What type of system security does USER-PAK provide?
With the USER-PAK option installed, access to the setup mode requires a password (unless security is turned OFF – see Setting Security ON/OFF in this chapter). The password requirement can help provide assurance against unauthorized modification of the Color CVIM configuration, and help prevent unauthorized personnel from taking the Color CVIM module out of run mode.
What are security levels?
The USER-PAK system security enables access to four different levels of interaction; we refer to these different levels as security levels.
Three security levels are defined within the setup mode, each allowing a different level of interaction with Color CVIM / USER-PAK features:
ADMINISTRATOR – Full access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
MANAGER – Mid-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
USER – Lower-level access to Color CVIM / USER-PAK features.
Access to Color CVIM runtime menus and displays does not require a password – this runtime level of interaction can be considered as a fourth level of security.
4 – 1
Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
Why have different security levels available?
The different security levels allow for implementation of a hierarchical system of access to and responsibility for the Color CVIM module setup. For instance, a system “administrator” can be designated; this person would have access to the ADMINISTRATOR level. The ADMINISTRATOR could be responsible for creating restrictions to the menu items available at the user level (through menu item deletion), for modifying menu item text, and for maintenance and security of the passwords which allow access to the different levels.
A manager can be designated, having access to the MANAGER level (that is, having access to any deleted menus items). Designated “users” would have access to the USER level; a “user” cannot, for example, modify menus, change passwords, or set security ON or OFF. The “user” is able to use the other USER-PAK and base Color CVIM module capabilities, except those deleted from the menus at the system administrator level. Finally, at the runtime level, only use of runtime menus and displays is available.
How do you enter a password for access to the setup mode?
You enter the password through the password keyboard; this keyboard appears automatically when you select Setup on the runtime screen.
What happens if a password is lost?
Entry to the setup mode can be enabled through the use of the USER-PAK Installation/Key card, should passwords be lost. See “Lost Passwords – Using the Installation/Key Card later in this chapter.
4 – 2
Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels

Accessing the Setup Mode

After USER-PAK installation, accessing the setup mode requires entry of a password (unless security has been turned off – see Setting Security ON/OFF later in this chapter).
Figure 4.1 Password entry keyboard
To enter the setup mode from run mode or standby mode (see Figure 4.1, page 4 – 3):
Pick the Setup box on the runtime display, which causes the password
keyboard to appear.
Enter the appropriate password on the keyboard, and then pick Ret.
Listed below are further considerations for accessing the setup mode: First Time Entry Default Password: For entering the setup mode the
first time after installing the USER-PAK option, the default 3-character password is A-B.
The initial entry will access the ADMINISTRATOR level of the setup mode. Non-unique passwords: If the same password is assigned for two or more
levels, the password will access the highest level for that password. Case-sensitivity: Password entry is case-sensitive. Use the “shift arrow key
(lower left/right corners) to access the lower-case keyboard if necessary. Password Display: The characters you select will appear as asterisks to the
right of Password: in the keyboard display. Incorrect password: If you have not entered the password correctly, the
Status: line in the keyboard will display Incorrect Password:
4 – 3
Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
If this happens, simply try entering the password again. You can try as many times as is necessary to correctly enter the password.

Security Levels

No Keyboard – Setup Mode entered Directly:
If, when you pick the
Setup box, the Color CVIM module goes directly to setup mode, this indicates Security has been turned OFF (see Setting Security ON/OFF later in this chapter to display the password entry keyboard with security OFF).
When you enter the setup mode with USER-PAK installed, you enter one of three security levels of the setup mode – ADMINISTRATOR, MANAGER, or USER level (see “Accessing the Setup Mode” in this chapter). A fourth security level is the “runtime” level – access to runtime menus and displays during run mode – which does not require a password.
You cannot change your current security level directly within setup mode. To change security levels, you must exit to run mode, then reenter setup mode using the appropriate password for the security level you want to enter.
The different security levels each allow a different level of interaction with the base Color CVIM module functions and USER-PAK functions. Table 4.A, page 4 – 4, summarizes the features available at each level.

Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
As shown in Table 4.A, the ADMINISTRATOR level allows access to all the USER-PAK option and base Color CVIM functions, including exclusive access to the first four functions listed.
The ADMINISTRATOR for a given system can thus be assigned sole responsibility for: creating restrictions to the menu items available at the user level (through menu item deletion); for modifying menu item text; for setting Security ON/OFF; and/or for assigning the passwords which allow access to the different levels.
Note that the subset of features available at the MANAGER and USER levels is identical, except that the MANAGER has access to menu items which have been deleted, while the USER does not. Thus the degree of difference in available features at these two levels, for a given system, is determined by the ADMINISTRATOR (through menu item deletion).

Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
Security Level Indication
While in setup mode with the USER-PAK option installed, the icons in the upper right corner of the screen indicate the current security level:
Trash can icon (Administrator Level)
At the ADMINISTRATOR level, the trash can icon appears on the screen.
Changing Passwords
M icon (Manager Level)
If you have entered the MANAGER level, the letter “M” is displayed.
If you have entered the USER level, no security-level icon is displayed.
This section describes the procedure for changing passwords. Passwords can be changed at the ADMINISTRATOR level only.
4 – 6
Assigning unique passwords: In order to create the availability of access to each of the different security levels, you must assign a unique password to
Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
each level. If the same password is assigned for two or more levels, the password will access the highest level for that password.
For example, if a particular password is used for both the ADMINISTRATOR and MANAGER levels, using that password will access the ADMINISTRATOR level. This means, in this case, the MANAGER level will not be accessible.
Default Password: When first installed, the USER-PAK option assigns the default 3-character password A-B to all three security levels. Before you can access each different security level, you must assign a unique password to each level.
Note: It is suggested, for greater security, that the passwords be changed
as soon as possible upon installing the USER-PAK option.
Effect of Password Change: After changing a password, the new password is immediately stored in non-volatile memory; the next time you want to enter the setup mode at the security level for which you have just changed the password, you must use the new password.
Security level selected
To change a password:
Pick Envir/Cam Change Password to access the Password Level
menu and display the keyboard (see Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2 Password entry keyboard
Password keyboard
Pick the security level box – Administrator, Manager, or User – for
which you are changing the password, on the Password Level menu.
Enter the old (current) password for the selected level, or the
ADMINISTRATOR level password, using the password keyboard, and then pick Ret. You will then be prompted for the new password.
4 – 7
Chapter 4
Getting Started/Using the Security Levels
Enter the new password, and pick the Ret key.
Once you enter the new password, the keyboard prompts you to reenter
the password in order to verify:
Enter the new password again and pick the Ret key.
If the verification failed, go back to the Enter the new password step,
and repeat the procedure from that point. When verification is successful, the Status: message indicates you have changed the password:
Listed below are further considerations for changing the password: Case-sensitivity: Password entry is case-sensitive. Use the “shift arrow key
(lower left/right corners) to access the lower-case keyboard if necessary. Password Display: The characters you select will appear as asterisks to the
right of Password: in the keyboard display. Password length / valid characters: You can enter from one to 16
characters (alphanumeric only) for the new password. Incorrect password: If you have not entered the old password correctly, the
Status: line in the keyboard will display Incorrect Password:
If this happens, simply try entering the password again. You can try as many times as is necessary to correctly enter the password.
4 – 8
Exit without changing: If you want to exit the procedure without changing the password, pick the Esc key before completing the verification step.
