NTI SERIMUX SERIES CONSOLE SWITCH
25
SERIAL CONTROL-USERS
Users can connect only to accessible ports as defined by the administrator. A list of those ports will be displayed with a
successful login.
To login, using a serial terminal or an emulator (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal),
1.
connect the terminal to the SERIMUX at an allowed user port and press the [
Spacebar
] or [
Enter
] key.
2.
type a valid user name (assigned by the administrator) and press [
Enter
].
3.
type a valid password (assigned by the administrator) and press [
Enter
].
Note: User names and passwords are case sensitive. It is important to know what characters must be capitalized and
what characters must not.
FYI: The administrator may select a user that will automatically login at power up (User 1 is setup by default). In this
case, neither name nor password will be required, just press [Spacebar] or [Enter] after opening the terminal program.
After login, the user may connect to an allowed host port, or view host status and parameters. The user is unable to modify port
parameters unless the user has been granted administrative privileges.
User "Accessible host list" screen
After successful login, the "Accessible host list" will be displayed. The administrator may choose another initial screen to be
displayed, following user's preferences. The Accessible host list includes:
•
user index number and name
•
index number and name of the login port
•
index numbers and names of accessible hosts
Figure 22- A user with limited host port access
From the "Accessible host list", the user can perform the following functions:
Function
Keystroke
Connect to host
[xx] - [Enter] (where xx is the port index number)
Refresh the screen
[Spacebar]
Logout
[Esc] or [Ctrl]+[X] , then [Y] to confirm
FYI: The port index numbers are 2-digit decimal numbers. If the wrong number is entered, simply enter the correct
number. Only the last two numbers entered before the [
Enter
] key is pressed will be accepted. The [
Enter
] key
validates the command; [
Esc
] or [
Spacebar
] cancels it.
