Network Technologies Primus-16X64 quick start

Initial Startup

Upon startup, the Command Mode On Screen Display (OSD) menu will be displayed, auto-logging you in as the administrative user “root”. By default, the user “root” has full administrative rights and access to all Host Adapters and their connected CPUs.

To logout as a user, press <L> and the login screen will appear

If you logout and want to log back in as the administrator “root” either ;

A)type <root> at the user prompt and press <Enter> or <Tab> type <nti> at the password prompt and press <Enter>

-or-

B) power-cycle the PRIMUX and be automatically logged-in as root

NOTE: In PRIMUX units with firmware version 1.9 and earlier, the administrator name was “ADMINISTRATOR” and the password was “NTI” (all upper case letters). The PRIMUX must be using version 2.0 and later to work with a PRIMUX Matrix Switch.

Configure User Station for Matrix Mode

The User Station must be configured for use with a Matrix Switch instead of as a Stand Alone unit before the Command Mode menu will recognize any connected CPUs. From the Command Mode menu, enter the following key sequence:

<A>-<R>-<M>-<Spacebar>-<Y> , then power-cycle the User Station.

This sequence of key presses will open the Administration menu (A), then the User Station Configuration menu (R), select the Mode configuration option (M), toggle the mode from Standalone (the default) to Matrix (Spacebar), and confirm the configuration change (Y).

You must power-cycle the User Station to establish communication with the Matrix Switch.

Menu sequence for Matrix Switch Mode

To return to the Command Mode menu, either press <Esc> twice, or <F10> once. Any connected CPUs should now be listed in the Command Mode OSD menu as “PN:xxxxxxxx>” where xxxxxxxx is the part number of the Host Adapter (this number can be found on the back side of the Host Adapter).
