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 while the AdderView CATx IP considers your entered password to be too easy to guess.

A suitable password is best constructed using a mixture of more than 6 letters, numbers and punctuation characters.

Local

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

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 AdderView CATx IP unit).

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 AdderView CATx 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).
