5.4 Setting up SINUMERIK Operate for autologon mode
If you want the PC system to start automatically in SINUMERIK Operate after switching on
without having to make any further entries, set up the Autologon mode.
During installation of SINUMERIK Operate, you can define an existing user account as an
autologon account. The PC system then starts without the password for this user account
being entered. SINUMERIK Operate is then started automatically because a link is created in
the "Startup" Autostart folder.
For security reasons, you should use a special user account without administrator rights.
You can also configure the key filter and deactivate certain keyboard entries (Page 102), e.g.
to prevent a switchover from SINUMERIK Operate to the Windows Desktop. (Desktop access
is then only possible via the splash screen (Page 160).)
Requirement
● A Windows user account without administrator rights is set up.
● SINUMERIK Operate is not installed.
● You are logged on as an administrator or you know the password of the administrator
account.
● The keyboard layout of the system is set to English.
