change their status to Pending or Active.
DID Dest. for Discharged Patients The number that is called when calls arrive 
for discharged patients who still have DIDs.
Restriction for Patient with no Srv The description of the RSC value to which 
the phone is set for a patient who has not 
contracted for phone service. The value 
described here is found through the RSC 
Description option on the MCS System 
Administration menu.
Restriction for Patient Phone Service The description of the RSC value to which 
patient phone service is set. The value 
corresponding to this description is found 
through the RSC Description option on the 
MCS System Administration menu.
Att Name Label Name by which all attendant stations are 
known. The name can be anything as long 
as it contains a # sign that MCS replaces 
with the attendant number. 
Note:The name of the supervisor station is 
static and does not need to be set here.

Medical Center System Operations Manual - JAVA Edition LOGIN NAME MAINTENANCE
Chapter 9 LOGIN NAME MAINTENANCE
Use the Login Name Management option on the MCS Main Menu to add, delete, 
and modify login names and passwords and to print and view operator names. 
Login names are used when generating all reports in the MCS.
Figure 9-1   Login Name Maintenance
Option Overview
You can use this option to alter names and/or passwords for the operators and the 
supervisor. Select the Operator option to display prompts for the operator name 
and the password for that operator. Select the Supervisor option to display 
prompts for entry of the supervisor name and the password for the supervisor. All 
internal MCS operator names and passwords must be entered via this option. Any 
number of operator names can be added, deleted, changed, viewed, and printed. 
However, only one supervisor login name and password may exist at any time. 
MCS is installed with a default supervisor login name and password; thus, the only 
commands available on the Supervisor Login Name screen are Modify and Quit. 
Both of the supervisor commands function in the same manner as they do on the 
Operator Login Name screen.
