3.7.1 Local port user settings

You can turn on or turn off local port user interface authentication and choose a user access level. If you
turn on local port user interface authentication, you will be required to log in to use the interface.
You can also select the keyboard language for the local port, scan mode time, enable/disable the setup
port password and select a user preemption level. The preemption level of users determines whether they
may disconnect another user's serial or KVM session with a target device. Preemption levels range from 1 -
4, with 4 being the highest level. For example, a user with a preemption level of 4 may preempt other level
4 users, as well as those with a level 1, 2 or 3 setting.

Port UI to open the Local Port UI Settings screen.
2. Select or deselect the Disable Local Port User Authentication checkbox.

Administrator or Appliance Administrator.
