SERVSWITCH™ DUO AND SERVSWITCH™ QUADRO
Step 2: Create an ADMIN (administration) account password
The ServSwitch Duo/Quadro has a fixed user account that cannot be deleted
named “ADMIN.” This user account is the only one that is able to make important
system changes. If you’re going to be using security, you should assign a password
to this account (see
Section 4.4
).
Step 3: Create user accounts
Login to the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro using the ADMIN account and add user
profiles and passwords for each of your users (see
Section 4.5
). The Duo/Quadro
supports up to 16 user profiles.
Step 4: Add/edit names to identify your computers
While you’re logged into the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro using the ADMIN account,
create names for each of the computers that you’ve attached to the system (see
Section 4.6
). The Duo/Quadro creates default names for each of its ports:
“Computer 1” through “Computer
n
,” where
n
= the Duo’s/Quadro’s highest-
numbered port (4, 8, 12, or 16). These default names may be edited as required.
While adding the computer names, you can define which users will have access to
each computer. Each computer has an associated port number up to eight digits
long that defines its location. If you’re using a single ServSwitch Duo/Quadro, all
of the computers will have two-digit port numbers (“01” through “04” on a 4-Port
Duo up to “01” through “16” on a 16-Port Duo or Quadro). If you’re cascading
ServSwitch Duos/Quadros, each computer will have four-, six-, or eight-digit port
numbers depending on the number of layers in your cascade (see
Sections 3.4.3
and
4.6.2
for details). The ServSwitch Duo/Quadro supports up to 512 computer
names; if your system will include more computers than that, please call Black Box
Technical Support for a possible quote on a version of the Duo/Quadro that can
store more names.
Step 5: Set the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Use the ADMIN account to select the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL
PREFERENCES. The SETUP OPTIONS menu is used to configure important
system operating parameters such as security mode, language, hotkeys, and control
options. The GLOBAL PREFERENCES menu is used to select various timing
characteristics and other options. See
Section 4.7
.
Step 6: Set up the autoscan list (optional)
If you would like the Duo/Quadro to scan a selected subset of the computers
attached to your system when you turn on autoscanning, use the ADMIN account
to select which computers will be scanned, as described in
Section 4.8
. (Autoscan
mode must be set to “SCAN LIST” for this to have any effect—see
Section 4.7.9
.)
