Conventions Used for Commands in This Document

Type the information being requested. This is italic, e.g. Usercode.

Type the command exactly. This is bold, e.g. HEPPS.

For each administrative system screen you display, you must first fill in the information requested and then press the key on your keyboard that sends the information. In this document, we refer to this operation as "press <Enter>." On most computers, <Enter> is the large "Enter" key on the 10-key pad.

Press the key that performs that function on your keyboard. Most keyboards have a key that takes the cursor to the Home position (the upper left corner of the screen). On many Macintosh keyboards, the <Clear> key acts as the <Home> key.

The Administrative Applications Sign-On Screen appears after you make a connection to keynes.

SecurID Access Authentication

Clients who have access to Administrative Systems have been issued SecurID cards and see the following screen after entering their Usercode and password:

This screen is used to authenticate your access.

The Administrative Applications Main Menu is displayed, unless this is the first time you have signed on with this Usercode, or if it has been 60 days since you last changed your password. In that case, the Password Change Screen is displayed.
