Enabling Security

To enable the security feature the administrator must first enter Command Mode. If the Command Mode menu is not already displayed, press <Ctrl> + <`> (accent/tilde key). The OSD menu will automatically appear on the monitor.

To login as the administrator, the user must first logout by pressing <O>, and then <Y> to confirm. A login prompt will appear.

Password and User Name

The factory settings are:

•default user name = <root>

•default password = <nti>

Note: The username for the administrator cannot be changed from "root”.

Figure 17- User login screen

Note: The <F1> Autologin key (see Figure 19) is only for use by users other than the administrator, and is only displayed and available for use if security is not enabled.

With a valid login, the user will be connected to the first CPU that is powered-ON. To enter Command Mode, press <Ctrl> + <`> (accent/tilde key). The OSD menu will automatically appear on the monitor.

Figure 18- Administrator's main menu

The administrator will activate security (after logging in) by pressing <A>-<S>-<S>-<E> (see page 26).

Once logged-in, follow the instructions on page 20 for setting up users and changing the password. Once the password is setup, if it is lost or forgotten the administrator will have to contact NTI for assistance on clearing the password and set it up again. The administrator can setup each of the users and the limitations of their use of the individual CPUs using the administration menus.

When a standard user powers up the UNIMUX with security enabled, the login screen will appear. Enter the user name and password as set by the administrator. Unless a valid user name and password are entered, the login screen will remain on the monitor. For more on “User Login”, see page 20.
