Chapter 3: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
42
There are no limits on the number of users you can set up or the number of users per serial port or host.
Multiple users can control/monitor the one port or host. There are no limits on the number of groups and
each user can be a member of a number of groups. A user does not have to be a member of any groups,
but if the user is a member of the default user group, they will not be able to use the Management Console
to manage ports.
While there are no limits, the time to re-configure increases as the number and complexity increases. We
recommend the aggregate number of users and groups be kept under 250.
The administrator can also edit the access settings for any existing users:
•
Select
Serial & Network > Users & Groups
and click
Edit
to modify the user access privileges
•
Click
Delete
to remove the user
•
Click
Disable
to temporarily block access privileges

Authentication
See Chapter 8
for authentication configuration details.
3.4
Network Hosts
To monitor and remotely access a locally networked computer or device (referred to as a Host) you must
identify the Host and specify the TCP or UDP ports/services used to control that Host:
1.
Selecting
Serial & Network > Network Hosts
presents all the network connected Hosts that have
been enabled for access, and the related access TCP ports/services
2.
Click
Add Host
to enable access to a new Host (or select
Edit
to update the settings for existing
Host)
