RuggedSwitch™ User Guide
Configuring System Identification The system identification is displayed in the sign-on screen and in the upper left
hand corner of all RuggedSwitch™ menu screens. Setting the system identification
can make it easier to identify the switches within your network.
Setting the location and contact fields can provide information about where the
switch is located and who to contact in order to resolve problems.
Configure Passwords The guest, operator and admin passwords provide differing levels of access to the
switch. Guest users can view most settings but may not change settings or run
commands. Operators cannot change settings but can reset alarms, statistics and
logs. Admin users can change settings and run commands.
Configure Time and Date The Configure Time and Date command provides the ability to change the switch
time, date and time zone. The switch can also be configured to periodically
contact an NTP server to correct for drift in the onboard clock.

rebooting. The hardware revision of your RSMCPU is provided in the
