Before changing keyboard styles, clear out the current password by selecting
Disabled, change keyboards, then enable password protection by selecting
System Manager Menu or All Menus and enter a new password with the
Enter Password option, below.

To enter a password, use the Down Arrow key to highlight Enter Password and press
the Enter key. Enter a password from one to eight characters, then press the Enter key
again.

A message is displayed that tells you to enter the password again for verification. Enter
the password again and press the Enter key. The password is now in effect for the menu
or menus you selected in the Password option.

If the password is lost or unknown, you must call a MTX service
representative to clear out the unknown password so that you can set a new one.

Check with the system operator before changing this value.

You can enter the display station’s serial number by highlighting Enter Serial # on the
System Manager menu. Press Enter – the first character of the displayed serial number is
highlighted and the numbers 0-9 and the alphabet are displayed on the screen above the
status row line. Next, follow these steps:

1) Move the underline cursor using the Left and Right Arrow keys until the appropriate

symbol is displayed in the first character image block in the serial number entry
area.

2) Press the Enter key when the underline cursor is located under the character that you

want to select. The entry block automatically moves to the next position in the serial
number entry area and the underline cursor moves under the displayed character.

3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all digits of the serial number are entered. You can correct

the characters you enter when the last character is entered and the cursor wraps to
the first character. To clear all entries, press the Clear key.

4) When you finish entering the serial number, press the Reset key. The System Manager

menu is displayed.

5) Press the Reset key to return to the initial Offline Test menu.

The serial number, along with the Product ID, is stored in the display’s nonvolatile memory
and is available to the control unit for systems statistics gathering by NetView. The
control unit must be at the appropriate microcode level to support SNA host requests for
Vital Product Data.
