Chapter 2. Installation
User Management and Security
The KM0216 / KM0432 permits the creation of 6 operator profiles when the switch is either on a stand alone installation or is the Master switch of a multilevel installation, as follows:
1 Super Administrator
1 Administrator
4 Users
On a single stage installation, two (KM0216) or four (KM0432) operators have simultaneous and independent control of 16 or 32 computers. In a daisy chained installation, a maximum of 16 or 32 operators can access the chain simultaneously (8 KM0216s x 2 operators each; or 8 KM0432s x 4 operators each). Each Slave KM0216 / KM0432 also has 6 operator profiles, as above.
Note: 1. When a Super Administrator logs in on a Slave unit his authority only governs the segment he logs in
2.Operator profiles are different from actual operators. The KM0216 / KM0432 has two / four console ports and allows two or four actual operators to access the switch simultaneously. Operator profiles specify the rights assigned to particular operators. Theoretically, one operator can use the same operator profile to occupy all the console ports.
The Super Administrator has administrative power over the whole chain, he can assign and change passwords and access rights for all operators on all segments (see SET USERNAME AND PASSWORD, page 40, and SET ACCESSIBLE PORTS, page 42).
The Administrator's power is limited to only that segment of the installation that the KM0216 / KM0432 he is logged in on controls. He can assign and change passwords and access rights for all operators on his segment.
Both Super Administrator and Administrator have full User rights. The four Users have no administrative rights. Depending on the permissions granted by the Super Administrator or Administrator, Users have varying degrees of control over the computers on the installation: Full Access; View Only; No Access. These rights are assigned on a
Operators (Super Administrator, Administrators, and Users) on the Master KM0216 / KM0432 can have User access rights to all ports on the Slave
