User Access Code Overview
Introduction
The Switch Management Interface allows the system
administrator to manage password information and user
configurations for the entire Rack, using a single ADMIN
port.
Reference
Each user entry in the password database contains the
first and last names of the user as well as the user’s
password. (see page 5-19 for more information)
Users are assigned to user groups in order for them to
be uploaded to switch cards. When users are assigned
to the user group, they are automatically assigned a
unique user ID (01-99)
As user information in the database is modified,
changes will be reflected in all user groups that refer to
that entry.
Note: To create a User Password File, see instructions on
page 5-12.
User
A user is considered to be any person that has permission
to initiate a call from a remote module through a Switch
Card.
Example: First name: Peter
Last name: Adams
User ID
Remote
Change Digit
User ID’s are automatically assigned to users as they are
entered into user groups. Each user in a user group will
have a unique user ID. The user ID is always the first two
digits of the remote user’s access code. It is possible that a
user could have multiple user ID’s if they belong to several
user groups.
Note: Adding a user to multiple user groups is NOT
recommended as it may confuse users.
This digit indicates whether a remote user is allowed to
change their password when online with a Switch Card. It
is the 3
rd
digit of the remote user access code and is present
right after the user ID with this product. It is always
assigned “9” to prevent users from changing their
password.
