Adder Technology AVM208MP, AVM216MP manual Enabling password security, Create user accounts

Step 3 - Create user accounts

Login to the AdderView using the ADMIN account and add user profiles and passwords for each of the system users (see section 3.4). The AdderView supports up to 16 user profiles.

Step 4 - Add / edit names to identify your computers

Whilst you are logged into the AdderView using the ADMIN account, create names for each of the computers that you have attached to the system. The AdderView creates default names for each of its ports (Computer 1 to Computer 16). These default names may be edited as required. Whilst adding the computer names you can define which users will have access to each computer. Each computer has an associated 8 digit port number which defines its location. If you are using a single AdderView MATRIX MP then all the computers will have two digit port numbers (01 to 16). If you are cascading AdderViews then each computer will have a four, six or eight digit port number depending on the number of cascade levels that have been connected (see section 4.10 for details). The AdderView supports up to 512 computer names although special versions are available that support more names.

Step 5 - Set the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Use the ADMIN account to select the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES. The SETUP OPTIONS menu is used to configure important system operating parameters such as security mode, language, hotkeys and control options. The GLOBAL PREFERENCES menu is used to select various timing characteristics and other options.

3.2 Enabling password security

The AdderView MATRIX MP may be operated with or without security enabled. With no security all users will have full administration rights and full access to all the connected computers. For systems with several users this may not be desirable. System security is enabled using the on-screen menu. The on-screen menu is activated automatically when you first switch on the AdderView but may also be selected using the keyboard hotkeys (see section 4.8) or the front panel controls (see section 4.6).
