Chapter 2  Accessing the System 

Getting Started 

Logging on means identifying yourself to the computer.  You must identify
yourself as an authorized user by typing your logon identity (user name
and account) and a password.  If you do not have a logon identity, ask
your system administrator to give you one.  If this is the first time you
have logged on to this system you will be asked to select a password.

To Log On 

   *   After switching on the terminal, press Return one or more times
       until you see the system prompt.

   *   Type your logon identity.  For example:

     MPE XL:HELLO PAT.FINANCE

   *   Press return.

   *   Type any required passwords.

As a security precaution, passwords are not displayed on the screen as
you type them.

   *   Type return.

A system prompt (:)  signals the start of your session.  A welcome
message may also be displayed.


NOTE If this is your first time to log in, you will be prompted to choose and enter your new password at this time.
