CHAPTER 5: Operation

To enable/disable the automated mode, access the General Parameters menu and proceed as described in Section 4.4. When the automated mode is enabled, Switch functions will change as follows:

1.All password security suppressed: When you attempt to access the Switch’s command mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either the Telnet port, modem port, or console port. Unless restricted by the IP Security function, you will be allowed to access system level command functions and control both plugs. At the console port, all commands are immediately accepted, whether the port is awake or asleep.

2.Status screen suppressed: The status screen will not be automatically displayed after commands are successfully executed. Note however, that the /S command can still be invoked to display the status screen as required.

3.“Sure?” prompt suppressed: All commands are executed without prompting for user confirmation.

4.Error messages suppressed: If the [Enter] key is pressed without entering a command, the Switch will not respond with the “Invalid Command” message. Note, however, that an error message will still be generated if commands are invoked using invalid formats or arguments.

All other status display and configuration commands will still function as normal.

5.6 Other Commands

5.6.1LOGIN AS DIFFERENT USER

The /R command is used to re-login using a different password. When invoked, the Switch will display the password prompt, allowing you to enter a different password in order to access the other plug or system level command functions. The /R command is often used to switch from user mode to system mode.

The /R command is available in both system mode and user mode. To login as a different user, type /R, press [Enter], then key in a different valid password at the prompt. To suppress the “Sure?” prompt, type /R,Y [Enter].

5.6.2RESET NETWORK PORT

The /T command is used to reinitialize the Switch network card. The /T command is not available in user mode. To reset the network port, type /T and press [Enter]. To suppress the “Sure?” prompt, type /T,Y [Enter].
