Additional information about the user that you may wish to

 

include.

 

 

Role

There are three categories: Super Administrator,

 

Administrator and User. There is no limitation on the number

 

of accounts that can be created in each category.

 

Š The super administrator is responsible for the overall

 

installation configuration and maintenance; user

 

management; and device and port assignments.

 

Š Administrators have user management privileges. They

 

can also access the ports and devices assigned to them

 

by the super administrator.

 

Š Users can access the ports and devices assigned to them

 

by the super administrator.

 

Note: By default the User account is inactive. The user

 

will not be able to log in until you give him any of the

 

available permissions (see below).

 

 

Permissions

Super administrators and administrators automatically have

 

Windows Client, Java Client, and Power Management

 

permissions. Permissions and restrictions for ordinary users

 

are set individually by checking the appropriate boxes, as

 

follows:

 

Š Windows Client allows a user to download the Windows

 

Client software, and access the switch with it, in addition

 

to (or instead of) the browser access method.

 

Š Java Client allows a user to download the Java Client

 

software, and access the KVM Over the NETTM switch

 

with it, in addition to (or instead of) the browser access

 

method.

 

Š View Only limits users to only being able to view the

 

display of connected devices. They cannot control port

 

access, nor can they input any keyboard or mouse signals

 

to the devices they view.

 

Š Power Management allows a User to connect to Power on

 

the Net™ devices.

 

Š Force to Grayscale forces the user’s view of the remote

 

display to be in grayscale. This can speed up I/O transfer

 

in low bandwidth situations.
