SECURE SITE MANAGERS

In most cases, a password with Supervisor Access can be entered at any port,
allowing the user to invoke Supervisor level commands. However, if you wish
to completely deny a specific port’s access to Supervisor commands (even with
a password that normally permits them), the Port Parameters menus can disable
Supervisor commands at ports 3 and above, and the Network Port. The Supervisor
Mode cannot be disabled at Ports 1 and 2 (the System Setup Ports.) For a summary
of commands and status screens available to Supervisors and non-Supervisors, please
refer to Section 13.
5.5.2. Port Access
Each account can be granted access to a different selection of ports. Accounts with
Supervisor access are always allowed to establish connections with all ports, but
accounts without Supervisor Access can be restricted to a specific port or group of
ports. Note also, that several accounts can be allowed access to the same port.
5.6. Managing User Accounts
The User Directory function is employed to create new accounts, display parameters
for existing accounts, modify accounts and delete accounts. Up to 128 different user
accounts can be created. The “User Directory” function is only available when you
have logged into command mode using an account and port that permit Supervisor
commands.
