Specify Access Modes

The access mode defines the type of access to applications. You define the access mode on the System Options Table (SMRT), as described in the Administration Guide. A user administrator can specify a lower, but never higher, level of access in a profile or user definition.

You can define the following access modes:

MULTIPLE (default)

Allows a user to communicate with an unlimited number of applications at the same time.

Note: Setting the access mode to MULTIPLE allows a user administrator to define the mode as SINGLE or PASS at the profile or user level.

SINGLE

Allows a user to communicate with only one application at a time. The user can still access the Menu and use the print key and other features while an application session is active.

Note: Setting the access mode to SINGLE allows a user administrator to define the mode as PASS, but not MULTIPLE, at the profile or user level.

PASS

Provides the user with a simplified mode of access to applications. The user receives the Menu at signon. After the user activates a session, the product passes control of the physical terminal to the application, and the user cannot access the Menu or any other features while the application session is active.
