Custom and Default Menus
Introduction
The SERIMUX has several default menus for easy configuration and access by different users. Depending on access privileges,
the menus available are the Web Interface, Configuration Menu, and Port Access menu. A custom menu feature for creating
menus is also available through the web interface. The custom menu feature enables system administrators to create menus for
specific users, which provide each with a customized interface to selected ports.
Making Custom Menus
Before making custom menus, plan the kind of menus and menu items to be made available to the users. A good plan would be
to:
1. Add users to the system.
2. Create a menu name with sort and display features.
3. Add menu items and submenus to the new menu.
4. Assign users to the menus.
Adding Users
Users cannot be assigned to a menu until the users have been added to the system.
To add users, do the following:
1. Access the web interface.
2. Choose Users administration under the System Administration heading.
3. Choose Add User and then fill in
settings to assign the user.
4. Choose Custom menu for the
Shell program.
5. Choose Add to add the user.
6. Continue to add users as
needed.
Note: It is not necessary to Save
to flash or Apply changes to add
users.
