Chapter 1: Agilent Technologies 16700A/B-Series Logic Analysis System
The User Environment and Session Control
The User Environment and Session Control
This overview describes the user environment of the logic analysis
system. Specifically, it defines the difference between how the typical
user interacts with the product compared to the system
administrator. You also get a description of the two working use
models: an "open-networked" system, and a "Secure Mode"
environment where user accounts and passwords are assigned.
For the most part, the differences encountered while working in either
use model occur during initial product configuration, or when you first
start a measurement session. In addition, if the secured environment of
Secure Mode is not enabled, there is no distinction between typical
users and a System Administrator.
For more information on using the security of user accounts and its
effects on the user environment, refer to Setting Up User Accounts
(see page 158).
Ordinary Users vs System Administrator
If Secure Mode is enabled, the typical user can only perform the
following system-level tasks:
Change your own password.
NFS-mount file systems to the instrument.
Telnet and FTP to other networked systems.
If Secure Mode is enabled, only the System Administrator can perform
the following system-level tasks:
Configure the network.
Enable the use of User Accounts.
Add and remove individual User Accounts.
Set the system-wide default file permissions (see page 174). Defaults at
initial power-up are –rw–r––r–– for files and –rwxr–xr–x for directories.
Set user permissions for new file creation.
