The User Environment and Session Control
• Set the system time.
• Set NFS export permissions from the instrument.
Identifying your System Administrator
Your System Administrator is the first person who accesses the User
Accounts dialog and assigns himself system administration privileges.
From that point forward, the User Accounts... pick is unavailable for all
users except the identified System Administrators. At the time a user
logs in, the system software checks for system administration
privileges and sets the appropriate access mask on the User
Accounts... dialog as well as other restricted areas of the system.
For more information on System Administrator Privileges, refer to
System Administration Privileges (see page 161).
Use Models - Open-Networked Compared to User Accounts
When you power up the instrument for the first time, you are in an
open-networked unsecured mode. Any user can access the instrument
and stored data with no record of access. By definition, you are in the
open-networked mode when Secure Mode is not enabled.
The User Accounts mode is often used where large project teams
share lab equipment. In this environment, one or more users are set up
with a user account and given a login and password. User accounts add
the security of restricted use, plus the ability to trace all network
activity and file ownership. By definition, you are in User Accounts
mode when your System Administrator enables the Secure Mode.
Switching between Open Network and User Accounts
Your System Administrator can switch between the open networked
mode and the secured User Accounts mode at any time.
1. From the System Administration Tools window, select User Accounts....
2. Toggle the Secure Mode field to either Enabled or Disabled.
3. Select OK.
4. At this point, you will be asked to verify the reboot of the logic analysis
system. A reboot is necessary to implement the system level change of the
