Managing User Databases
User database files contain all user accounts assigned in a Remote Console Switch. You can save
your user account database file and use it to configure users on multiple Remote Console
Switches by writing the user account file to the new switch.
NOTE: The user account file is encrypted and you will be prompted to create a password when you save
the file. You will need to re-type this password when you write the file to a new unit.
To save a user database from a Remote Console Switch:
1 Click the Tools tab in the MP. The Tools dialog box appears.
2 Click the Save Remote Console Switch User Database button. The Save Remote Console
Switch User Database dialog box appears.
3 Click Browse and navigate to a location to save the user database file. The location appears

field. This password is requested when you restore this database to a Remote Console
Switch. Click OK. The user database file is read from the Remote Console Switch and
saved to a location. A progress window displays.
