6. If this is a new user account, of if the account password has expired or was reset, a password expiration dialog is displayed.  Click on the Ok button.
7. In the Change Password dialog, enter the new password and confirm it in the confirm password. The new password must comply with the password requirements described in Table 2. Click on the Ok button.

Upon successful logon, the Panorama PON main window is displayed. If the logon was not successful, an error will display. Contact your systems administrator for support.

Note: When a login session has been inactive for 15 minutes (i.e.: no keyboard/mouse activity), the application will lock the session and display the Unlock Session dialog box. Enter your password and click OK to unlock the session. The unlock session will stay active for one (1) hour, after which the session will be automatically logged off.
