Administrator Login
To access the OSD menu Command Mode from the keyboard press the <Ctrl> + <
`
> (accent key). (An additional alternate OSD
key may be defined, see page 31)    The User Login screen will automatically appear on the monitor.   In order to configure the
PRIMUX,  when the PRIMUX is powered ON,   the administrator can login with a proper user name and password.   While holding
down the <Shift> key, enter the following;
                    administrator names =  ROOT or ADMINISTRATOR  (either can be used)
  default administrator password =  NTI
FYI:  The names for the administrator cannot be changed.
Once logged-in, follow the instructions on pages 10 or 27 for changing the password.  Once the password is setup, if it is lost or
forgotten the administrator will have to contact NTI for assistance on clearing the password and set it up again.  The administrator
can setup each of the users (page 26) and the limitations of their use of the individual CPUs from within Administration Mode.
Autologin
By default, the user account  NEW_USER1 has been configured to automatically login at power-up.  The adminstrator may
reconfigure the User Station to autologin a different user (page 28) or  have a Login splash screen appear at power-up requiring a
user to login, with or without a password).    The autologin user uses CPUs listed in its Host Allow/Deny Access List as configured
by the administrator (page 26).
User Login
The administrator may configure the User Station to require each user to login using a predefined password to gain access rights
to CPUs and to the features in the OSD menus.   Once logged in, the user may be directed to either a specific CPU (provided the
CPU is powered ON),   or to the OSD menu where the user can decide what action is to be taken.   The initial action (Action on
Logon- page 25) and whether or not to connect to a specific Host Adapter (Logon Host- page 25) will be configured by the
administrator.
Once logged-in a user can use the Command Mode functions described below and on page 14 to control the segment of CPUs
within the limitations as determined by the administrator.
