Managing Your Remote Console Switch 63
Locking and Unlocking User Accounts
If a user enters an invalid password five consecutive times, the Security Lock-Out feature will
temporarily disable that account. If a user attempts to log in again, the software client
application displays an appropriate error message.
NOTE: All accounts (user, administrator, and remote console switch administrator) are subject to this
lock-out policy.
A remote console switch administrator can specify the number of hours (1 to 99) that accounts
will remain locked. When Enable Lock-outs is unchecked, the security lock-out feature will be
disabled and no users will be locked out.
If an account becomes locked, it will remain locked until the duration time has elapsed, the
remote console switch is power-cycled or an administrator unlocks the account via the MP. An
Administrator may unlock only user accounts, whereas a Remote Console Switch Administrator
may unlock any type of account.
To unlock an account:
1 Select the Users category in the MP.
2 Select the user to unlock.
3 Click the Unlock button. The lock icon next to the username will disappear.
4 Click OK or Apply. This allows the user to log in again.

Click Cancel to exit without saving.
To specify the length of time a user account remains locked:
1 Click the Users category in the MP.
2 Click to enable the Enable Lock-outs check box.
3 Type the number of hours that a user will be locked out (1 to 99).
To disable the Security Lockout feature:
1 Select the Users category in the MP.
2 Click the Enable Lock-outs check box. The Duration field is disabled.
NOTE: Disabling Security Lock-out will have no affect on users that are already locked out.
Viewing the SIPs and Avocent AVRIQs

You can also view the SIP status. A green circle indicates that the SIP is online. A yellow circle
indicates the SIP is being upgraded and a red X indicates that the SIP is offline. To clear offline
