Here you can determine which users should have access to the created/ edited server. Only users that show a ‘+’ marker to the right of the menu box will be granted access to the server.

Note: The Port Direct feature (which allows interconnected switching units to talk to one another) ensures that users without access rights to particular servers cannot move sideways to those servers via other servers.

Note: Access rights for particular user accounts to servers can also be controlled from the ‘Edit User List’ menu

6Select and deselect users as follows:

Individual user - Highlight a user name, then press to apply, or remove, the ‘+’ marker.

Allow access for all users – Press

Allow no user access (except ADMIN) – Press

6When all settings have been made, press to save and exit. Press to return to the ‘Configuration Menu’.

Tips when creating/editing server entries

Avoid creating two names for the same computer port.

When cascading to other units, do not apply individual names to any ports that are forming a link group to another switch (i.e. ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 when they form link group 41).
