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.

Text Modification: The USER-PAK option enables the ADMINISTRATOR
to modify the text of menu items, and of onscreen messages such as the help
messages or the power-up title banner. To modify text, you use the ChangeText feature (accessed from the Envir/Cam menu).

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.

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.

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.

With USER-PAK installed, you can selectively load portions of the default
configuration or the internally stored configuration. This allows you, for
example, to load previously-stored user interface modifications, while
retaining a new Color CVIM inspection configuration.

Connect and Use a Mouse
With the USER-PAK option installed, you can connect a mouse or trackball
to a Color CVIM serial port, and use the mouse to manipulate the Color
CVIM menus, instead of a light pen.
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 card’s 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.
