2.2 User Privileges and Port Reservations:
All user levels, including anonymous (visitor), are able to access the system via a serial
connection from your work station to the Local Master port, or via a Telnet session from your
work station.
•
Administration Login:
There is only one Administration account on the system. The default name is “admin”
and default password is also “admin”. The default name and password may be changed.
If you login at Administration level, you are able to remove or change existing user
accounts, take over power outlets or user serial console ports and change system settings.
•
User Login:
At user login level, you are able to reserve power or console ports for your applications if
they are “open”, as well as make system configuration changes. At this login level, you
are not able to access other user reserved console ports.
•
Anonymous(Visitor) Access:
If you have no account established on the system (as an anonymous user), you are only
able to view the system configuration settings and operate unreserved serial console ports.
2.3 Local Master Port Access:
The Local Master Port operates in two modes:
1)
Console Port Transparent Mode:
The Local Master Port and an active user port exchange
user data, as if the master port were directly connected to a user serial console port.
2)
System Control Mode.
A NC system enters control mode if the first letter for a line entry
at the terminal is a predefined command prefix symbol, such as “/” (the default prefix letter). In
control mode, a user typed message at the master port terminal will not be forwarded to a user port.
You do not need to do anything to terminate the control mode because as soon as there is a new
line feed at the terminal, the system comes back to the User Port Transparent mode. However, if
the system enters the system configuration menu operation, no typed message will be sent to a
user console port until the menu operation is ended.
Note:
If the system is in Console Port Transparent Mode, there are no local echo characters on your
terminal because they are forwarded to user equipment that is connected to a user console port. It
is up to the connected user equipment how to respond to the messages you enter.
To access and configure the system from the master port, you need to connect a RS232 port from
your work station to the Local Master Serial Port. Then run a terminal emulation program (such
as Window’s Hyper Terminal) on your computer.
