8-PORT SERIAL PORT MANAGER WITH INTEGRAL MODEM
For example, if the port password “test” is assigned to ports 3, 4, and 5, then when
“test” is entered at the password prompt, you can connect only to ports 3, 4, and 5
and can view parameters for ports 3, 4, and 5 only.
If desired, all Serial Port Manager ports can function as both a supervisor port and
a user port, depending on which password you enter at the login prompt.
However, if you want to prevent a port from being able to access the Supervisor
mode at all (even with the supervisor password), disable the Supervisor mode at
the RS-232 ports using the Port Configuration menus as described in
Section 5.5
.
NOTE
The Supervisor mode can’t be disabled at ports 1 and 2; these ports are
designated as setup ports and are always allowed password-protected
access to supervisor-level commands.
When port passwords are defined, the Serial Port Manager doesn’t allow
you to select a port password that’s already been used as the
supervisor password.
5.4 Defining the Site ID and Supervisor Password
Before configuring individual ports, define the site ID and supervisor password.
The site ID indicates the location or name of the Serial Port Manager; the
supervisor password restricts access to sensitive command functions. The site ID
and supervisor password are defined via the System Parameters menu (/F).
NOTES
The site ID can’t include double quotes.
The supervisor password can’t include an asterisk, forward slash,
spaces, or double quotes.
Both the site ID and supervisor password are cleared if the Serial Port
Manager is initialized to default settings.
The Serial Port Manager does not allow you to select a supervisor
password that is the same as an existing port password.
The System Parameters menu is only available in Supervisor mode.
1. Access the Command mode. Type
/F
and press
Enter
to display the System
Parameters menu.
2. Site ID message: (Up to 32 characters; Default = undefined). Type
1
and press
Enter
. A prompt appears. Type in the desired text and press
Enter
. The site
ID is listed on the Port Status and Port Diagnostic screens.
