Belkin F1DW116C, F1DW216C user manual Password Entry Fields

USING YOUR SWITCH

Password Entry Fields

There is a “change password” button associated with each user; clicking the button displays the password entry dialog. The administrator is required to type the password and then confirm it; the new password will not be accepted until the entries match (passwords are up to eight characters long, and case-sensitive). Canceling the change password dialog will return to the Passwords page without changing the existing password. In a daisy-chain configuration, clicking “OK” automatically synchronizes this password with the other consoles.

Enable Check Boxes

The check boxes next to the user names allow the administrator to disable user accounts with a single mouse click. This removes the need to alter the security settings of each host individually when it is necessary to remove a user’s access.

AutoLogout Enable and Time

The AutoLogout feature logs-off the user after a specified period (1–99 minutes) of console inactivity. Generally, this will return the Switch to guest-level access, but if guest access has been disabled, all access rights will be revoked until a valid user logs-on to the console. The edit box sets the length of inactivity required before the logout occurs. The AutoLogout feature is not global; it has to be set independently for each console.

Note: Unless AutoLogout is enabled, or the user manually logs out, the session will not end when IntelliView is closed (the next user will open IntelliView at the privilege level of the previous user).
