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.
