Black Box kv1161a, servswitch cx uno ip, kv1081a manual Configuration, Overall initial configuration

Configuration

Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the ServSwitch CX Uno IP units are controlled via on-screen menu displays.

Overall initial configuration

When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended:

1Enable the general ‘Security’ option.

With security disabled (default setting), a local or remote user attached to the ServSwitch CX Uno IP will have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all ServSwitch CX Uno IP settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.

2Create an ADMIN (administration) password.

All ServSwitch CX Uno IP units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted or renamed, called ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is important to allocate a password to the ADMIN account.

3Create user accounts and allocate access rights.

Use the ADMIN account to add user profiles, passwords and access rights for each of the system users.

4Provide names for computers.

When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to provide names for each, to assist with recognition.

5Configure the required ‘Setup Options’ and ‘Global Preferences’

Use the ADMIN account to determine key ServSwitch CX Uno IP settings and timing characteristics.
