Chapter 3 Configure Terminal Settings
Desktop Access
You can allow or restrict access to the desktop on the terminal. From the
desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations. You can allow
access temporarily, then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized
changes.
With restricted access, you must enter a password to access the desktop. Each
terminal has a default password and a challenge question.
Enable Desktop Access
Follow these steps to enable desktop access.
1. Press Terminal Settings, then choose Desktop Access Setup.
2. To select Allow, press Desktop Access.
The Enter Password dialog box opens.
Each time that you change desktop access from disallow to allow, you
must first enter a password. The initial default password is ‘password’.
3. To type the password, then press Enter, press Password.
4. To return to Desktop Access Management, press Enter again.
TIP Applications generate log files. You can delete log files from the FactoryTalk
View ME Station dialog box before running the application. Delete log files
