6. Administrator Functions

This chapter discusses the special On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) functions with which an administrator can configure and operate the ServSwitch™ Summit system, including assigning access rights (discussed in more detail in Appendix A).

6.1 The Administration Menu

Administrators can use the Administration Menu to set security classes, maintain user names and privileges, and manage the system configuration, including controlling user access to the Summit system and all connected devices. To reach any of the Administration Menu’s submenus, take the following steps.

NOTE

Administrative user IDs assigned to group 00 (see Appendix A) have complete access to all of the Administration Menu’s submenus. Other administrative users have limited access and can’t select the System Configuration and User Configuration submenus.

1.Log into the system using the admin user name or your own user name if you have administrator privileges. (The default password for the admin user is blackbox, all lowercase, but this password should be changed as soon as the Summit is initially installed.) The Selection Menu will be displayed.

2.Press [F5]. The Administration Menu should appear, as shown in Figure 6-1.

3.Press the corresponding number from 1 through 5, or use the up- and down- arrow keys to move the highlight to your desired option, then press [Enter]. The rest of this chapter describes the submenus that appear.
