5. Configuration

5.1. System Mode and User Mode

In order to restrict access to sensitive command functions, the IPS features two operating modes; System Mode and User Mode.

•System Mode: Allows access to all configuration menus, switching functions and status screens. The System Mode Status Screens show On/Off conditions for all switched outlets, and lists all currently defined system parameters.

•User Mode: Allows access to On/Off/Boot commands, but does not allow access to configuration functions. Users may only issue commands to, or view status of the plugs that are specifically allowed by their password.

The IPS will display a password prompt when the unit is contacted via the COM Port or Network Port. The password entered at this prompt determines whether the unit will start-up in System Mode or User Mode. If the System Password is entered, the System Mode will be active. If a Plug Password is entered, the User Mode will be active. The System Password is defined via the General Parameters menu (Section 5.3.1), and the Plug Passwords are defined via the Plug Parameters Menus (Section 5.3.3.)

Notes:

•If you wish to restrict access to configuration menus, you must define the System Password.

•If the System Password is not defined, the IPS will always start-up in System Mode, allowing unprotected access to configuration and switching functions.

•If the System Password is not defined, the Password Prompt will not be displayed when you access the IPS via the Text Interface. The prompt will always be displayed when the IPS is contacted via the Web Browser Interface.

•When the IPS is contacted via Network, the password prompt will also include a field for the user name. If you have not defined a user name, then you may leave this field blank, and only the password is required to gain access to the unit. The user name prompt is not displayed when the unit is contacted via the Text Interface.
