Avocent 5240 Manuel D’Utilisation

 Chapter 1: Introduction        5

Only one administrative user can be connected to the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager at a time. 

Regular users may be authorized for access to management features available on the connected SPs 
or other types of target devices. 

NOTE: The administrator may create and enable a custom security profile that has the override authorization 
feature set, which causes all authenticated users to have all access to all target devices. For details, see Security 
Profiles’ Effects on Users’ Actions on page 14.

Table 1.1 shows which management options are available on the supported SP types and on 
supported devices without SPs.

NOTE: When a target device does not have an SP, Target Device Console, native IP and DirectCommand are 
the only management options available by default. The target device types may be customized to make other 
management features available.

Table 1.2 shows the SP console management option names and command names used either when 
you are logged into the Web Manager, when you have selected a target devices from the spshell 
menu on the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager console or when you are entering the ssh 
command on a remote workstation. All options give access to the SP console and are only available 
for managed servers with SPs.
