The Administrator Functions Menu is accessed from the Administrator Commands 

Menu. Here, you can setup the administrator and user accounts, enable and disable the 

setup port and utilize the KVM Switchʼs FLASH upgrade feature. 

Administrator Account

Setting up an administrator account with a password places 
your system in secure mode. Non-secure systems do not use 
passwords. To return your system to the default of non-secure 
mode, simply delete the administrator password. When the 
administrator password is enabled, user passwords must also be 
entered or the switch will not be completely secure. The default for 
users is no password. Simply press 

at the prompt.

If you configure an administrator password from this menu, your 
system will then be in secure mode. A lock symbol will appear to 
the right of the menu headings to indicate secure operation.

Logout Capability

You have the option of automatically logging out of the system 
after an administrator defined period of inactivity. Timeout values 
can be set from 0 to 60 minutes. (Default is five minutes). A value 
of 0 keeps the user logged in continuously. When the timeout is 
reached, the current channel is deselected and the display goes 
to the login prompt. Users must login again to access system 
computers. This option is only available in secure mode.

Multiple User Logins

You can create up to four user logins in addition to the system 
administrator. Use these logins to configure and control server 
access for every type of system user. The administrator has full 
access privileges; additional users can have viewing or viewing 
with keyboard and mouse control capability for each attached 
server. This option is only available in secure mode. 

Channel Push-Button

While in secure mode, all channel push-buttons are disabled. In 
non-secure mode, all channel push-buttons function normally.
