Node Name
This field defines a unique name for this LINCS node. (Note that this is not the node name
information returned by SNMP. That information is configured on the TCP/IP Options panel
as ‘System Name’.)
Product Assistance Data
This field may contain up to 48 characters. You can use it to record the name and telephone
number of the person to contact for Customer Service. (Note that this information is not
provided to SNMP.)
Unique Machine Identifier
It is recommended that you use the hardware model’s serial number as the unique machine
identifier. If the serial number is not available or you prefer not to use it, you may enter your
own unique 7 character machine identifier. Valid characters include A-Z, 0-9, or spaces.
Supervisor Password
This field contains up to eight alphanumeric characters. It is used for supervisor functions in
LINCS Central Control, such as executing the Configuration Utility and performing Media
Management functions. This password is also used as the FTP password if any of the network
interfaces are configured for IP protocol.
When the SCON-3074 has been IMLed with a default configuration (such as the first time
the SCON-3074 is IMLed, or if the Config key is pressed at state 500), there will not be a
supervisor password defined. You may also choose not to define a password. If no password
is in effect, ANY user may enter the password-protected utilities. Using a password is
strongly recommended.
