# Log on to Network Server

If your application is running on a PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, or PanelView Plus CE terminal, and is using a shared network drive to store data log files, the Logon to Network Server dialog box opens when your run-time file loads. Type your user name, password and the network domain name. What these values are depends on your network. If you are unsure, check with your network administrator.

This information is stored in RAM, and is erased when the machine reboots. Therefore, the information has to be re-entered each time the terminal starts. Checking the Update Default Credentials checkbox will not cause the terminal to save the network configuration information.

To save log-on data so that it does not need to be re-entered every time the terminal operator needs to access the network, the information must be in permanent storage.

## To save log-on data permanently on PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, and PanelView Plus CE terminals

1. Go to Configuration Mode.
2. Select Terminal Settings > Networks and Communications > Network Connections > Network Identification.
3. Type your user name, password and network domain name, and then click OK.

After this, when the terminal needs access to the network for data storage or to print, this identification will be used to verify the connection.

If you are starting your application automatically, make sure the network log-on data is stored permanently, otherwise the application startup will stop at the Logon to Network Server dialog box.
