5. Configuration

5.1. Supervisor Mode and Non-Supervisor Mode

In order to restrict access to sensitive command functions, the CMS-6R4 features two operating modes; Supervisor Mode and Non-Supervisor Mode.

•Supervisor Mode: Allows access to all conﬁguration menus, switching functions and status screens. The Supervisor Mode status screens show On/Off conditions for all serial ports and switched outlets, and list all currently deﬁned system parameters.

•Non-Supervisor Mode: Allows access to port connection, switching and reboot commands, but does not allow access to conﬁguration functions. Non-Supervisors may only issue commands to, or view status of the ports and plugs that are speciﬁcally allowed by their password/account.

The CMS-6R4 will display a password prompt when the unit is contacted via the COM Port or Network Port. The password entered at this prompt determines whether the unit will start-up in Supervisor Mode or Non- Supervisor Mode. If the password allows access to Supervisor Mode, then the Supervisor Mode will be active. If the password does not permit access to Supervisor Mode, then the Non-Supervisor Mode will be active. The process of deﬁning passwords and granting Supervisor rights is discussed in Section 5.4 and Section 5.5.1.1.

Notes:

•If you wish to restrict access to conﬁguration menus, you must create at least one password that permits access to Supervisor Mode.

•If you do not create at least one password that permits access to Supervisor Level commands, then the CMS-6R4 will always start- up in Supervisor Mode, allowing unprotected access to conﬁguration and switching functions.

•If you do not create at least one password that permits Supervisor Level commands, then the Password Prompt will not be displayed when you access the CMS-6R4 command mode.

•When the CMS-6R4 is contacted via the Web Interface, the password prompt will also include a ﬁeld for the user name. The user name prompt is not displayed when the unit is contacted via the Text Interface.
