This feature has been added to enable the securing of ALL Manager Screens. These include
Manager Main Screen, Reports and also Utilities.

A new setting in RINCS.CFG has been introduced [GCAUTH] this allows the setting of
authority levels for each button on the Manager Screens.

[GCAUTH]

REM **********************SECURITY SETTINGS*****************************
MAIN=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
REPS=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
UTI1=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
UTI2=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

Each Numeric setting applies to one button on the screen. The exception to this is the
“MAIN” setting, the first setting is for the function ALT-F10 which exits the program to a
DOS Prompt.

So if it was required to set the Manager Main screen so End/Start of Day and Open/Close
Session were only available to users with Authority Level 5 the setting would be

[GCAUTH]
REM **********************SECURITY SETTINGS*****************************

MAIN=1,5,5,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
REPS=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
UTI1=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
UTI2=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

When a selection is made for a setting that is set for and authority level higher than the user
who has selected it “No Authority” is displayed.

This Feature has been introduced to allow the Logging-on screen to be by-passed. This
allows an operator to go from secure to trading only logging on once. This should be used in
conjunction with server stay down in Till Parameters.

A new setting has been introduced in  RINCS.CFG :-

REM ==============AUTO LOGON=============

REM TO ENABLE TO GO DIRECTLY FROM THE MANAGER SCREEN TO TRADING, OMITTING
REM THE TRADING LOGGED OFF SCREEN REMOVE REM BELOW

REM AUTOLOGON=1

If the machines are put into “Secure” at an End of Shift the next operator to logon in secure
will if they select “Trading” go straight into the trading screen by-passing the Logon Screen.

If the terminals are being used with Hard Disk units the speed of opening and closing will be
slower because of disk access time. In order to speed this up a new setting has been
introduced which allows the products to be processed an a RAM Drive which now sets up
automatically on terminal boot-up.

A new setting has been introduced in  RINCS.CFG :-

REM =========MASS PRODUCT SUPPORT========

REM TO ALLOW FASTER PROCESSING OF PRODUCT FILES GREATER THAN 1000
REM REMOVE REM BELOW (BASEFAST={drive name}:)

REM N.B SET D: IF DIP SWITCH 3,4,5 ON
REM N.B SET F: IF DIP SWITCH 3,4 ON
REM N.B SET E: IF DIP SWITCH 3,5 ALL ON

REM BASEFAST=E:

It should be noted that this setting needs to be set according to the Terminal configuration.

During the Opening and Closing routines it will be noticed that the terminal reports “copying
from Fast Drive” this means the feature is functioning.
