Partition Master codes, and 45 general user codes.

Using Installer code: Installer code + [8] + 02 + new code
Using current System Master code: System Master code + [8] + 02 + new code + new code again
Adding a User Code: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + user’s code
Deleting a User Code: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [0]
Assigning Attributes: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [attribute no.] + value
Attributes: Values
1 = Authority Level 0-4 (see Authority Level table above)
2 = Access Group 0-8 (0 = not assigned to a group)
