Configuring Users
From the main OfficeServ Link window click the “Configure User” button in the upper right hand corner
of the window.
The Manage User List window will appear. This window is used to manage users who connect to
OfficeServ Link. Click the Add button to add a user. Select an existing user from the Registered User
List View and click Delete to remove the user or click Modify to change the user’s connection settings.
Clicking Add or Modify will display the Add User / Modify User Information window. This window is
where you specify the connection properties for each user. A full explanation of each option is detailed
below. After configuring all options click Add / Apply to save changes and return to the Manage User
List window.
OPTION DESCRIPTION
IP Address
This field is required and sets the IP address of the PC the user will be
connecting from. This field requires an IP address, DNS names cannot be
used.
User Name
This required field sets the name of the user, and is used as a way to
identify the user from other users.
User Information
This optional field allows you to set a short description of the user (such as
“Shawn’s lab PC”)
Switch Information
This field is used to determine which OfficeServ 7000 Series system(s) (1
through 8) the user can access information for. To enable a system select
the system and click the “Use” button below the system list. Alternately
you can double-click the Usage field next to the desired system.
Default SW
This field is required and sets which of the allowed systems will be the
default. This is primarily used for the OfficeServ Call, OfficeServ Operator,
and OfficeServ Communicator applications to set which system they will
connect to (because these applications can connect to only 1 system at a
time).
Use Filtering-Mode for OfficeServ Call
This option determines if the user’s data stream will be limited to only the
“Default SW” system’s data. This is important for users of OfficeServ Call
because the application can become unstable if it receives information
from more than one system.
