SPC: add user JaneDoe<Enter> Password: *****<Enter> Verify New Password: *****<Enter>
For security, password characters are displayed as asterisks. The following command adds username JohnDoe:
SPC: add user<Enter> Username: JohnDoe<Enter> Password: ******<Enter> Verify Password: ******<Enter>
The following command adds username Sydney with no password:
SPC: add user Sydney<Enter> Password:<Enter> Verify Password:<Enter>
Granting port access to a username
The Add Port command grants a username access to one or all ports. To grant access for more than one port, but not all ports, you must use

multiple Add Port commands. When the command completes successfully, the following message appears, where x indicates the number of ports: x port(s) added Command Completed Successfully
To grant port access to a username:
At the SPC: prompt, type add port, optionally followed by a username and a port name. If you enter an invalid username or port name, the command aborts with the message: 0 port(s) added. Examples The following commands use absolute port names to grant the username JaneDoe access to ports A1, A2 and C2:
SPC: add port janedoe . a1<Enter> SPC: add port janedoe . a2<Enter> SPC: add port janedoe . c2<Enter>
The following commands grant access to the same ports, but they use the ports' descriptive names that were previously defined on the control screen (ops_1, ops_2 and shp_2):
SPC: add port janedoe ops_1<Enter> SPC: add port janedoe ops_2<Enter> SPC: add port janedoe shp_2<Enter>
The following command grants access to all ports for the username JohnDoe:
SPC: add port<Enter> Username: johndoe<Enter> Port Name: all<Enter>
Deleting port access for a username
The Del Port command removes a username's access to one or all ports. When the command completes successfully, the following message appears, where x indicates the number of ports: x port(s) deleted Command Completed Successfully

SPC Installer/User Guide
To delete port access for a username:
At the SPC: prompt, type del port, optionally followed by a username and a port name. If you enter an invalid username or port name, the command aborts with the message: 0 port(s) deleted. [. . . ] When you first press the reset button, the Input Current LED changes to two side-by-side horizontal lines in the middle of the display. Continuing to press the reset button for five seconds begins the reset, which is indicated by three side-by-side pairs of horizontal lines in the top, middle and bottom of the display. When the reset completes, the LED returns to displaying the cumulative input load.
