SET USERNAME & PASSWORD

This function is used to set Usernames and Passwords:

 

1. One Super Administrator, one Administrator, and four User

 

passwords can be set.

 

2. After you key in a name for the Super Administrator,

 

Administrator, or User, a screen that allows you to key in the

may be up to 15 characters long, and can consist of any

 

combination of letters and numbers (A - Z, 0 - 9).

 

3. For each individual, key in the Username and Password, then

 

press [Enter].

 

4. To modify or delete a previous Username and/or Password, use

 

the backspace key to erase individual letters or numbers.

SET LOGOUT TIMEOUT

If there is no input from the console for the amount of time

 

set with this function, the Operator is automatically logged out. A

 

login is necessary before the console can be used again.

 

This enables other Operators to gain access to the computers when

 

the original Operator is no longer accessing them, but has forgotten

 

to log out. To set the timeout value, key in a number from 1 - 180

 

minutes, then press [Enter]. If the number is 0 [zero], this function

 

is disabled.

 

The default is 0 (disabled).

EDIT PORT NAMES

every port can be given a name. This function allows the

 

Administrator to create, modify, or delete port names.

the choice. Press [Enter].

maximum number of characters allowed for the Port Name is 15.

 

Legal characters include:

 

• All alpha characters: a - z; A - Z

 

• All numeric characters: 0 - 9,_

 

• + - / : . and Space

 

Case does not matter; the OSD displays the Port Name in all

 

capitals no matter how they were keyed in.

 

3. When you have finished editing, press [Enter] to have the change

 

take effect. To abort the change, press [Esc].

RESTORE DEFAULT VALUES

original factory default settings (see FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS,

 

p. 35) - except for the Names settings that were assigned to the

 

Ports, which are saved.
