NTI UNIMUX
Security Configuration
The UNIMUX can be configured to either have no security enabled such that any user can connect to the UNIMUX, or have security enabled such that a user must have a login name and password in order to enter Command Mode and make a connection with an accessible CPU. Only the administrator has access to Security Configuration.
Within Security Configuration, the administrator has three options:
Function | Keystroke |
|
|
Enable security just for the user port | U |
that his currently connected through |
|
|
|
Enable Global Security- security | E |
enabled on all user ports |
|
|
|
Disable Global Security- security | D |
disabled on all user ports |
|
|
|
Return to previous menu | Esc |
|

Figure 31- Security Configuration
If Security is disabled for the port the user is connected to, and the user attempts to login to Command Mode with the command key, the login screen will include the instruction “Press F1 to Autologin”.
With security disabled, Autologin provides full access to all connected
CPUs and all users except the administrator must use it to login.
When security is enabled, Autologin is not available and the user must login using the administrator assigned user name and password. The user will have access to only those CPU ports as configured by the administrator.
If Global security is disabled, and security for the port the user is connected through is enabled, the user will only need to provide a username and password when connecting through that user port.

If Global security is enabled, the user must provide the username and password when connecting through any user port.
