CHAPTER 5: User Functions

To login at the Login Menu and start operating the system, take these steps:

1.Type in the user name that you’ve been assigned by the system administrator. (If user names haven’t been assigned yet, the defaults are user01 through user15—depending on the model—for regular users and admin for the administrator. User names are not case-sensitive.) When you finish, press [Enter].

2.If a password is necessary, you’ll be prompted to enter a password as well. Type your password and press [Enter]. The default password for the admin user is blackbox (all lowercase). (You’ll want to change this password right away; see the end of Section 5.3. Passwords are case-sensitive.)

3.The Selection Menu will be displayed, as shown in Figures 5-2 and 5-3 on the next page. To go to other menus, use the function keys as described in Section 5.4.

You can log out of the Summit system by pressing function key [F9] while the OSUI is displayed.

5.2 Selecting a Computer

Immediately after you login, the Summit’s OSUI displays the Selection Menu. If you’re already logged in, you’ll need to bring up the Selection Menu by pressing the hotkey (the factory default is [Scroll Lock]) twice in quick succession, then pressing function key [F2].

The Selection Menu lists devices sorted either by channel-ID number (“Ch. ID”), as shown in Figure 5-2 on the next page, or alphabetically by the name of the computer or other device on that channel (“Name”), as shown in Figure 5-3. Toggle between these two views by pressing [F12]. Default sorting is by channel-ID number, but unless the system is re-initialized, the last selected sort order will be shown the next time that the Selection Menu is activated. As for the other columns in the channel-ID view, “No” is the channel’s “key number” (internally assigned by the Summit and not changeable by the user) and “Scn” is its currently selected individual scan-delay time in seconds (see Section 6.4) unless the channel has a subsidiary Base Unit attached to it, in which case the Scn column will show “- -”.

The Selection Menu can display eight channels per page; it will show you how many total pages there are, and which of them you’re viewing, in its upper right- hand corner (“Page 2/5” for the second of five pages, for example). Use the [PageUp] and [PageDown] keys on your keyboard to move between the pages. Once you’ve selected a CPU as described on the following pages, the Summit system will switch to that channel; if you’ve enabled it (see Section 5.3), an “ID Display” (shown in Figure 5-4) will pop up on screen to identify the chosen channel for the number of seconds you’ve set.
