If this is the first time you are installing the Viewer on a workstation (Windows or
Macintosh) on your network, complete the procedure in this section to change the
Administrator password on the Splash color server. You only need to change the password
once during the installation process. However, if you have multiple Splash M Series Color
Servers on your network, you must perform this procedure once for each color server.
There are three classes of user modes (or privileges) for the Splash M Series Color Server:
ordinary user, operator, administrator. The color server system allows or restricts user access
to specific color server functions depending on the users’ mode:
Administrator— Unlimited access to all Viewer features and functions, including the
ability to define the features and functions available to ordinary users and operators.
Access to Administrator privileges requires a password.
Operator—Restricted access to Administrator functions and other functions as defined
by the Administrator. Access to Operator privileges requires a password.
Ordinary User—Restricted access to Administrator and Operator functions. Access to
Ordinary User privileges does not require a password.
The color server can be configured with two passwords: one password for Administrator
access and one password for Operator access. If your site requires multiple Administrators
and Operators to manage the color server, these users must share passwords.
Since the Splash M Series software ships without passwords it is important to configure an
Administrator password after installing the Viewer on the first workstation. Otherwise, all
users will have unlimited access to the color server.
To change the Administrator password:
1. Start the Viewer by clicking on
Start
and clicking on
M Series Viewer
under the
Program menu. The Viewer window, shown in Figure 30, appears.
