User accounts

This section allows you to manage up to sixteen separate accounts.

The first of the sixteen accounts is the admin account and is the only account with access rights to the configuration menus. The user name and access rights are fixed for the admin account, the only change possible for this account is the password.

There are fifteen user account positions.

To create a new account

1Enter the required User Name to activate that position (the Password and access tick box positions will become editable).

2 Optionally enter a password for the user account.

3Tick/untick the Local, Modem, Remote and Power options that are appropriate to the user.

4 Click the Save button to register your changes.

To get here

1Using VNC viewer or a browser, log on as the ‘admin’ user.

2 Click the ‘Configure’ button in the top right corner. 3 Click the ‘User accounts’ option.

User Name

All user names must consist of lower case characters or numbers only. No symbols or upper case characters are permissible. The user name can be between 1 and 16 characters in length.

Password

Passwords are case sensitive and can include certain keyboard symbols. The password can be between 1 and 16 characters in length. It is important to note, however, that the password background remains shaded in amber until the AdderLink IP considers your entered password to be cryptographically strong. This is best achieved using a mixture of more than six letters and numerals.

Local

When ticked, the selected user can gain access using the local KVM console directly connected to the AdderLink IP.

Modem

When ticked, the selected user can gain access via a modem or ISDN link (requires external modem/ISDN equipment to be connected to the AdderLink).

Remote

When ticked, the selected user can gain access via an IP network link, such as a local intranet or the wider Internet (depending on how the AdderLink IP is connected).

Power

When ticked, the selected user will be permitted to control the power input to host systems (requires optional power control switch unit(s) to be fitted).
