User Management and Security
The KM0216 / KM0432 permits the creation of 6 operator profiles when the
switch is either on a stand alone installation or is the
Master
switch of a
multilevel installation, as follows:
1 Super Administrator
1 Administrator
4 Users
On a single stage installation, two (KM0216) or four (KM0432) operators have
simultaneous and independent control of 16 or 32 computers. In a daisy-
chained installation, a maximum of 16 or 32 operators can access the chain
simultaneously (8 KM0216s x 2 operators each; or 8 KM0432s x 4 operators
each). Each
Slave
KM0216 / KM0432 also has 6 operator profiles, as above.
Note:
1. When a Super Administrator logs in on a Slave unit his authority only
governs the segment he logs in on – just like an ordinary
Administrator.
2. Operator
profiles
are different from actual operators. The KM0216 /
KM0432 has two / four console ports and allows two or four actual
operators to access the switch simultaneously. Operator profiles
specify the rights assigned to particular operators. Theoretically, one
operator can use the same operator profile to occupy all the console
ports.
The Super Administrator has administrative power over the whole chain, he
can assign and change passwords and access rights for all operators on all
segments (see
, page 42, and
The Administrator's power is limited to only that segment of the installation
that the KM0216 / KM0432 he is logged in on controls. He can assign and
change passwords and access rights for all operators on his segment.
Both Super Administrator and Administrator have full User rights. The four
Users have no administrative rights. Depending on the permissions granted by
the Super Administrator or Administrator, Users have varying degrees of
control over the computers on the installation: Full Access; View Only; No
Access. These rights are assigned on a port-by-port basis.
