Black Box ServSwitch CX 用户手册

®

The ServSwitch CX features a straightforward security system that helps to 
prevent unauthorised access to some, or all connected servers. 
If the security option has been selected by your administrator then you will be 
asked to enter a User Name and Password when you first access a user port. 
When you have finished using the server, it is then good practice to logout, 
forcing any other users to authenticate themselves prior to use.
Note: If the security option has not been enabled then no login is required.

on screen for three seconds after a server is selected. The confirmation box 
indicates the current user port and your user name, the selected server and the 
connection status. You can enable or disable the confirmation box, as required.
