IBM Console Switch Installation and User’s Guide
Setting console switch security
The OSCAR interface enables you to set security on the local port console. You can establish a screen
saver mode that engages after the console switch remains unused for a specified Inactivity Time. Once
engaged, the console switch will remain locked until you press any key or move the mouse. You will then
need to type in the password to continue.
Use the Security window to lock the console switch with password protection, set or change the
password, and enable the screen saver.
NOTE:
If a password has been previously set, you will have to enter the password before you can access the
Security window.
