Installation and Operations Manual
The -48 VDC products support the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System () protocol. This
enables authentication and authorization with a central server; user accounts do not need to be individually
created locally on each unit.
This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each product and in the server) a set of
necessary levels, and user’s access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked
simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined access levels. User account rights can be
added, deleted, or changed within without any changes needed on individual products.
The unit supports 16 different levels; 15 are entirely configurable by the system administrator (1 is
reserved for default Admin level access to all resources on the unit).
