User Identity
The user identity is pre-configured by the system administrator. If you have any questions about your user identity,
please contact your system administrator.
Note:
Settings on this screen that the user cannot edit are represented by grey text. Please contact your system administrator
for assistance with information entered in the user identity fields.
Users may, however, have the ability to configure the autologin feature on this screen. If the feature is enabled, the BluS-
tar 8000i can automatically log in to a specified default account upon a manual restart, forced restart, or cold reboot.
These three processes can be defined as follows:
•
Manual restart - user initiated (e.g. when a user selects the Restart button).
•
Forced restart - software initiated but influenced by a user's action (e.g. when a user changes a terminal setting
whereby the device requires a restart for the setting to take effect).
•
Cold reboot - when a software upgrade has been initiatedor when an interruption of power has occured (e.g. power
failure or power cycle).
This feature is especially useful when a BluStar 8000i is configured for one primary account as it ensures that the account
is logged in automatically even after a cold reboot has occured.
Notes:
• If a BluStar 8000i is in a locked state before a forced restart, the BluStar 8000i will still retain its locked state after it is
restarted and automatically logged in.
• The configured autologin account will be removed if the BluStar 8000i is reset to factory defaults.
When enabled, users can configure their BluStar 8000i to automatically login to a specified account by first logging in to
the respective account, navigating to the App Menu > Tools > User Identity screen, and selecting the Autologin, upon
Restart, for this Account and Device option.
