Basic Configuration
In the default state, the RPS includes one predefined account that provides access to
Administrator commands and allows control of all RPS switched power outlets. The default
username for this account is "
super
" (lowercase, no quotation marks), and the password for the
account is also "
super
".
Notes:
• If the RPS will be used in Non-RPS mode and security is a concern, it is
recommended that when initially setting up the unit, a new user account with
Administrator access should be created, and the "super" account should then
be deleted.
• If the RPS is reset to default parameters, all user accounts will be cleared, and
the default "super" account will be restored.
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 RPS 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:
•
Administrator and SuperUser:
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.
