5.4 Password protection

When the Smart CAT5 system is password protected, the Control software behaves in exactly the same way as the OSD. You must type in the required password to access the Control software. The access you gain depends on the security status – exactly as with the OSD.

To change the security access, close and reopen the Control software, and type in the different password.

5.4.1Administrator (Status A)

The Administrator can:

∙ Set and modify all Passwords and security profiles ∙ Fully access any computer

∙ Use all functions

5.4.2Supervisor (Status S)

The Supervisor can:

Fully access any computer

Scan computers.

5.4.3 User (Status U)

There are 6 different Users in the Smart CAT5 system. Each User has a Profile that defines the access level to different computers. There are 3 different access levels. These are:

Y – Full access to a particular computer

V –Viewing access only, to a particular computer (No keyboard/mouse functionality)

N – No access to a particular computer

The Administrator defines the desired access levels of each User Profile. This is done in the Setting box. By default the User Profile settings are full access.
