Supervisor Level Commands. In this case, the only way to access the Supervisor Mode, is to reinitialize the CMS to default values as described in Section 4.2.

5.3.2. The Port Passwords

The Port Passwords (or User Passwords) allow system administrators to restrict access to a specific group of ports. When the CMS command mode is accessed with a Port Password, users may only connect to the RS232 Ports to which they have been granted access, and review configuration parameters for those ports. Port Passwords do not grant access to CMS configuration commands.

The configuration menus (/P) for each RS232 port allow a Port Password to be assigned to each individual port. In order to allow a Port Password to grant access to a series of CMS ports, the same Port Password is assigned to each port in the series.

For example, if the Port Password "test" is assigned to ports 3, 4, and 5, then when "test" is entered at the Password Prompt, the user will only be able to connect to ports 3, 4, and 5, and will only be able to view parameters for ports 3, 4, and 5.

If desired, all CMS ports can function as both a Supervisor Port and a User Port, depending on which password is entered at the login prompt. However, if you wish to prevent a port from being able to access the Supervisor Mode at all (even with the Supervisor Password), the Supervisor Mode can be disabled at the RS232 Ports and the Network Port using the Port Configuration menus as described in Section 5.5. Note however, that the Supervisor Mode cannot be disabled at Ports 1 and 2; these ports are designated as SetUp Ports, and are always allowed password protected access to Supervisor Level commands.

5.4. Defining the Site ID and Supervisor Password

Before configuring individual ports, the Site ID and Supervisor Password should be defined. The Site ID can be used to indicate the location or name of the CMS unit, and the Supervisor Password is used to restrict access to sensitive command functions. Both the Site ID message and Supervisor Password are defined via the System Parameters menu (/F).

Note:

The Site ID cannot include double quotes.

The Supervisor Password cannot include an asterisk, forward slash, spaces, or double quotes.

Both the Site ID and Supervisor Password will be cleared if the CMS is initialized to default settings.

The System Parameters Menu is only available in Supervisor Mode.
