Password
Enter a password for the selected user to use at log in
All passwords can be changed except the “root” password. A user must be logged in as “root” to change
the password for user “root”, and it can only be changed from the “Unit Settings” menu (page 28).
If a change is made to the user name, group, or shell, the password for that user must also be provided (whether it is a new
password or an existing password). Otherwise the user will automatically be assigned the default password of “nti” by the
SERIMUX to login the next time.
Access Group
The Access Group list displays each of the groups of users that have been assigned in the SERIMUX. From the User
Management menu, press <

>-<

> to display the “Access Group” list.
Access Groups provide a quick means by which to define who will have access to specific ports on the SERIMUX. Each port can
be configured for access by individual users and by Access Groups (page 20). Assigning users to Access Groups will save port
configuration time.
