Authorized users are users who have been authorized to access one or more
ports on the OnSite. See “OnSite Port Permissions” on page 32 and “OnSite
Port Permissions” on page 32 for more information.
Note: Only one administrative user can be logged into the CLI, Web
Manager, or OSD at a time. If another administrative user is logged by any
means, the second administrative user attempting access is prompted either to
exit or to proceed and log the other administrative user out.
Authorized users and OnSite administrators have the following options
accessing devices:
• Web Manager—for accessing devices connected to both KVM and serial
ports
See Chapter 3, “Web Manager Introduction” for background information
about the Web Manager; Chapter 6, “Web Manager for Administrators”
for how OnSite administrative users can access ports through the Web
Manager; and Chapter 4: “Web Manager for Regular Users” on page 139
for how authorized users access ports through the Web Manager.
• telnet or ssh—for accessing devices connected to serial ports
See “Serial Port Connections” on page 101 and “To Use Telnet to Connect
to a Device Through a Serial Port” on page 104, for more information.
• Onscreen display (OSD)—for accessing devices connected to KVM ports
Local users and administrators who have access to a directly-connected
Local User station can access the Connection Menu through the OSD. See
