NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

3.2. User Controls

Users can connect only to accessible ports as defined by the administrator. A list of those ports will be displayed with a successful login. Connection can be made using the TERMINAL, or a serial terminal with an emulator (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal) connected to the SERIMUX at an allowed user port

To login, press the [Spacebar] or [Enter] key. Users can login by entering a valid name and password, assigned by the administrator. When prompted for a "User name:", type the administrator assigned user name and press [Enter]. When prompted for the "Password:", type the administrator assigned password and press [Enter].

Note: User names and passwords are case sensitive. It is important to know what characters must be capitalized and what characters must not.

FYI: The administrator may select a user that will automatically login at power up (User 1 is setup by default). In this case, neither name nor password will be required, just press [Spacebar] or [Enter] after power ON the TERMINAL or opening the connected terminal emulator.

After login, the user may connect to an allowed host port, or view host status and parameters. The user is unable to modify port parameters unless the user has been granted administrative privileges.

3.2.1 User "Accessible host list" screen

After successful login, the "Accessible host list" will be displayed. The administrator may choose another initial screen to be displayed, following user's preferences. The Accessible host list includes:

•user index number and name

•index number and name of the login port

•index numbers and names of accessible hosts

Figure 20- A user with limited host port access

From the "Accessible host list", the user can perform the following functions:

Function	Keystroke
Connect to host	[xx] - [Enter] (where xx is the port index number)
Refresh the screen	[Spacebar]
Logout	[Esc] or [Ctrl]+[X] , then [Y] to confirm

FYI: The port index numbers are 2-digit decimal numbers. If the wrong number is entered, simply enter the correct number. Only the last two numbers entered before the [Enter] key is pressed will be accepted. The [Enter] key validates the command; [Esc] or [Spacebar] cancels it.
