Introduction

This chapter provides information for configuring Switch

 

Cards to communicate with the appropriate remote

 

modules. The Switch Management Interface or a PC

 

running a terminal emulation program can be used to

 

configure cards.

System

The system administrator has complete control of the entire

Administrator

Rack. Only the system administrator should have access to

 

the Switch Management Interface.

 

To set up the Rack:

 

1. Create a user and assign a password for each remote

 

module.

 

2. Create user groups to designate users by job function or

 

department. The User ID consists of the first two digits

 

of the password. These are automatically assigned

 

when users are added to user groups.

 

3. Upload user group information to single or multiple

 

Switch Cards. See next page for configuration steps.

Password

All user and user group information is stored in password

Files

files. To setup and configure the Switch Cards, you MUST

 

create at least one password file. Password files are saved to

 

and retrieved from the hard disk of your PC. Cards cannot

 

be configured without first opening a password file. See

 

page 5-11for more information.
