Configuration
Almost all configuration and operational aspects of the SC5-IP units are
controlled via
on-screen menu
displays.
Overall initial configuration
When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended:
1
Enable the general ‘Security’ option
.
With security disabled (default setting), a local or remote user attached to
the SC5-IP will have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all
SC5-IP settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to
enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.
2
Create an ADMIN (administration) password
.
All SC5-IP units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted or
renamed, called ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to
make important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is
important to allocate a password to the ADMIN account
.
3
Create user accounts and allocate access rights
.
Use the ADMIN account to add user profiles, passwords and access rights
for each of the system users.
4
Provide names for computers
.
When numerous computers are attached, you are strongly advised to
provide names for each, to assist with recognition.
5 Configure the required ‘
Setup Options
’ and ‘
Global Preferences
’
Use the ADMIN account to determine key SC5-IP settings and timing
characteristics.
