SPC Installer/User Guide
For configurations that require multiple fully-privileged users, administrative
privileges may be granted to other users in the system.
Automatic time-out
When an SPC user ends a session, configuration changes made during the
session are saved. For added system security, a user session will be terminated
automatically after five minutes of inactivity, without saving any configuration
changes made during the session. If a user is called away unexpectedly, an
unprotected channel will not remain open indefinitely.
Configuration reset capability
The SPC may be reset to the factory default configuration through an
administrative level command. If the administrator password is lost or
unavailable, the unit may be reset manually by pressing a reset button on the
SPC unit.
Using the SPC with Avocent Appliances
The SPC user interfaces described in this document are available when a serial
Telnet connection is made to the unit. When an SPC is connected as a device on
an Avocent appliance, these interfaces may be available or other interfaces may
be provided by the Avocent appliance, depending on the configuration. For more
information, see the installer/user guide for the appropriate Avocent appliance.
