Administrator and User Access 6-3
NOTE: If all the check boxes in this section are disabled, the administrator will not be able to access the
switch through the WS2000 Management System user interface. The only way the device can then be
accessed is through a direct serial connection from a PC. If this situation occurs accidentally, you can
restore the settings using the command line.
LOG Column
To enable logging for connections through a particular protocol, click the check box for the protocol under the
LOG column. When logging is enabled, the first successful connection using the protocol is logged. However,
every failed connection through any access protocol is logged.
Allow Administrative access to

Administrative access to list. A line is created in the list where you can add the IP address from where an
administrator can access this switch. However, this access is only allowed for a maximum of 4 devices.
