Differences between Secure and Non-Secure Operating Modes

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 Enter 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 no access. viewing or viewing with keyboard

and mouse control capability for each attached server. This option is only

available in secure mode.
