Basic Configuration
5.4.2. Plug Access
Each account can be granted access to a different selection of power outlets (plugs)
and plug groups. When accounts are created, the Plug Access parameter and the Plug
Group Access parameter in the Add User menu or Modify User menu are used to grant
or deny access to each plug or plug group. In addition, each access level also restricts
the plugs and plug groups that the account will be allowed to access:
• Administrator: Administrator level accounts are always allowed to control all plugs
and plug groups. Plug access cannot be disabled for Administrator level accounts.
• SuperUser: SuperUser accounts allow access to all plugs and plug groups. Port
access cannot be disabled for SuperUser accounts.
• User: User level accounts are only allowed to issue switching commands to the
plugs and plug groups that have been specifically permitted via the "Plug Access"
parameter in the Add User and Modify User menus.
• ViewOnly: ViewOnly level accounts are not allowed to issue switching commands.
ViewOnly accounts can display the On/Off state of plugs and plug groups, but are
limited to the plugs and plug groups specified by the account.
5.4.3. Port Access
The Port Access parameter is used to grant or deny access to the VMR/NPS RJ45 Setup
Port. Normally, the Setup port is used for connection to a local control device or an
external modem.
The command access level will also determine which ports the account will be allowed
to access, as summarized below:
• AdministratorandSuperUser: Accounts with Administrator or SuperUser level
command access are always allowed to connect to the Setup Port. Port access
cannot be disabled for Administrator and SuperUser level accounts.
• User: User level accounts are only allowed to connect to the Setup Port when port
access has been specifically enabled for the account.
• ViewOnly: Accounts with ViewOnly access are not allowed to create connections
to the Setup Port.
