Setting User Station Security
The Administrator Functions Menu allows you to create an administrator 
password, set a system logout time and create individual user logins with 
specific access and privileges. This menu is only used if you are running your 
system in secure mode. The table below discusses the security features.
Security Operating Modes
Feature Description
Administrator password  Entering an administrator password places your system in 
secure mode. A lock symbol will appear to the right of 
the menu headings to indicate secure operation. Non-secure 
systems do not use passwords. To return your system to the 
default of non-secure mode, simply delete the administrator 
password. When the administrator password is enabled, user 
passwords must also be entered or the switch will not be 
completely secure. The default for users is no password. 
Simply hit the Enter key at the prompt.
Logout capability  You have the option of automatically logging out of the system 
after an administrator defi ned period of inactivity. Time-out 
values can be set from ø to 60 minutes. A value of ø keeps the 
user logged in continuously. When the time-out is reached, 
the current channel is deselected and the display goes to 
screen saver mode. Users must login again to access system 
computers. This option is only available in secure mode. To 
manually logout when in secure mode, press F10.
Multiple user logins  You can create up to four user login accounts in addition 
to the system administrator. Use these logins to confi gure 
and control server access for every type of system user. 
The administrator has full access privileges. Additional users 
can have viewing or viewing with keyboard and mouse 
control capability for each attached server. This option is only 
available in secure mode. 
Push-button and Hotkey  While in secure mode, all front panel push-buttons and hotkey 
channel selection methods are disabled. This also includes 
use of the Cybex Remote Switch Panel (RSP). All other 
hotkey commands remain operational to the administrator 
only. In non-secure mode, all push-buttons and hotkey 
commands function normally. 
To access the Administrator Functions menu:
1. Press the Control key twice to access the Administrator Channel List.
2. Press the Control key twice more to access the Command Menu.
3.  Highlight Administrator Functions from the Command Menu and press Enter.
