3. Configuring the AdderView MATRIX MP
3.1 Configuration summary
The AdderView is configured using the on-screen menu system which is activated
by default when you first power on the system. It may also be accessed by using the
keyboard 'hotkeys' (see section 4.8) or by using the AdderView's front panel keys
(see section 4.6). The following steps summarise a typical configuration process.
For more advanced information on each of the configuration steps please refer to
the appropriate sections of this manual shown in brackets.
Note: The AdderView is configured via the ADMIN user account. The AdderView will
allow multiple users to be logged in under the ADMIN account but will only allow one
of these users to be adding or editing computer names or user profiles or setting
global and setup options at any one time.
Step 1 - Decide if you are going to use password security
The AdderView may be run with security enabled or disabled. With security
disabled, all user ports have full access to all of the computers and full
administration rights. The AdderView is shipped to you with security disabled. This
mode is suitable for simple installations with a small number of users. Larger
installations or systems with larger numbers of users will require password security
to be enabled. In this mode, each user logs on to the system and is allocated access
rights to defined computers by the system administrator. This mode is
recommended for most systems (see section 3.2 for details on how to enable
security). If you are not using security the go to step 4.
Step 2 - Create an ADMIN (administration) account password
The AdderView has a fixed user account that cannot be deleted named ADMIN. This
user account is the only one that is able to make important system changes. If you
are going to be using security then you should allocate a password to this account
(see section 3.3 for instructions).
