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 |
