1.2 Initial Administrative Testing

To verify that an attached computer can be viewed and controlled through the ServSwitch Summit system, take these steps:

1.When you first power ON the ServSwitch Summit Base Unit, an attached USM, and the USM’s attached monitor, a Login Menu will be displayed on the monitor, as shown in Figure 1-2. Type admin (all lowercase) in the User Name field and press [Enter]. Type blackbox (all lowercase) in the Password field and press [Enter].

NOTE

The factory-default user names are user01 through up to user15 (depending on the model of the Base Unit) for regular users and admin for the admin user. User names are not case-sensitive. By default, a password is required only for the admin user, and that password is blackbox. Passwords are case-sensitive.

2.The monitor will display an On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) Selection Menu (shown in Figure 1-3) with the channel of the connected CPU displayed in green. (It will have no default name—the Name field will be blank.)

3.Use the up- and down-arrow keys on the user station’s keyboard to move the highlight to the green computer channel and press [Enter].

4.Normal computer access and operation indicates a successful connection.

A video-gain adjustment is available to focus the video image, which can be especially useful if you’re using an LCD flat-panel monitor. To make this adjustment, activate the OSUI (if you haven’t done so already) by rapidly pressing the keyboard’s [Scroll Lock] key twice. Use the “+” and “-” (plus- and minus-sign) keys on the keyboard’s numeric keypad to adjust the video image until it appears to be in focus.
