Basic Configuration
5.4.2. Circuit Access
Each account can be granted access to a different selection of circuits and circuit
groups. When accounts are created, the Circuit Access parameter and the Circuit
Group Access parameter in the Add User menu or Modify User menu are used to grant
or deny access to each circuit or circuit group. In addition, each access level also
restricts the circuits and circuit groups that the account will be allowed to access:
• Administrator: Administrator level accounts are always allowed to control all
circuits and circuit groups. Circuit access cannot be disabled for Administrator
level accounts.
• SuperUser: SuperUser accounts allow access to all circuits and circuit groups.
Circuit access cannot be disabled for SuperUser accounts.
• User: User level accounts are only allowed to issue switching commands to the
circuits and circuit groups that have been specifically permitted via the "Circuit
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 circuits and circuit groups, but
are limited to the circuits and circuit groups specified by the account.
5.4.3. Port Access
The Port Access parameter is used to grant or deny access to the RPC DB9 Console
Port. Normally, the Console 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:
• AdministratorandSuperUser: Accounts with Administrator or SuperUser level
command access are always allowed to connect to the Console Port. Port access
cannot be disabled for Administrator and SuperUser level accounts.
• User: User level accounts are only allowed to connect to the Console Port when
port access has been specifically enabled for the account.
• ViewOnly: Accounts with ViewOnly access are not allowed to create connections
to the Console Port.
