USING YOUR SWITCH

Scan Time and “Change All” Button

The user can reset the scan time for all computers by entering a value from 1–99 in the edit box and clicking on the “Change All” button. The user will be asked to confirm the action before the new time is applied.

Console Column

The console currently viewing the computer is indicated in this column.

Security Page

The Security page allows the administrator to change the computer-access permissions for the Switch’s users. There are three levels of user access to the Switch: Admin, User, and Guest. Admin is the only user that can access the Setup pages to configure the Switch. The administrator can restrict users and guests from accessing specific computers. All users can switch computers and toggle the AutoScan function in the Main page. In addition, the guest is the default user (you never have to login as guest), so all users logoff to guest, when the account is enabled.

If the administrator has removed guest access, then when the user logs out they lose focus on the port. All hot keys and the front panel will be disabled, with the exception of opening IntelliView, which will present the user with the Login dialog.

The user accounts defined in the Switch can be used by individuals or groups of individuals; the names of the users are fixed.

Note: When the guest user is enabled, it defines the minimum privileges that anyone can access. It is possible to restrict user accounts more than the guest account; this is a potential mistake to avoid.
