HP 3000 Series 9X8LX Computer Systems Getting Started

Logging On and Starting HP Easytime/iX 

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 any).  If you do not have a logon
identity, ask your system administrator to give you one.

Once you log on, you begin your communication with the HP 3000 computer
and can start working.

To log on 

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

   2.  Type your logon identity.  For example:

            MPE XL:HELLO PAT.FINANCE 

   3.  Press Return.

   4.  Type any required passwords.

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

   5.  Press Return.

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

To start HP Easytime/iX 

Once you have logged on (and the program is enabled), you can start HP
Easytime/iX.

   1.  From the system prompt, type:

            :RUN EASYTIME.PUB.SYS Return 

       Unless your system administrator has changed this, the Main menu
