Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
• Add a Group name and Description for each new Group, then nominate the Accessible Hosts, Accessible Ports and
Accessible RPC Outlets(s) that you wish any users in this new Group to be able to access
• Click Apply
• Click Add User to add a new user
• Add a Username and a confirmed Password for each new user. You may also include information related to the user (e.g.
contact details) in the Description field
Note: The User Name can contain from 1 to 127 alphanumeric characters (however you can also use the special characters
"-" "_" and "." ). There are no restrictions on the characters that can be used in the user Password (which each can contain
up to 254 characters). However, only the first eight Password characters are used to make the password hash.
• Specify which Group (or Groups) you wish the user to be a member of
• Check specific Accessible Hosts and/or Accessible Ports to nominate the serial ports and network connected hosts you
wish the user to have access privileges to
• If there are configured RPCs you can check Accessible RPC Outlets to specify which outlets the user is able to control
(i.e. Power On/Off)
• Click Apply. The new user will now be able to access the Network Devices, Ports and RPC Outlets you nominated as
accessible plus, if the user is a Group member they can also access any other device/port/outlet that was set up as
accessible to the Group
Note: There are no specific limits on the number of users you can set up; nor on the number of users per serial port or host.
So multiple users (Users and Administrators) can control /monitor the one port or host. Similarly there are no specific limits
on the number of Groups and each user can be a member of a number of Groups (in which case they take on the cumulative
access privileges of each of those Groups). A user does not have to be a member of any Groups (but if the User is not even a
member of the default user group then they will not be able to use the Management Console to manage ports).
However while there are no specific limits the time to re-configure does increase as the number and complexity increases so
we recommend the aggregate number if users and groups be kept under 250 (1000 for B092-016 )
The Administrator can also edit the access settings for any existing users:
• Select Serial & Network: Users & Groups and click Edit for the User to be modified
Note: For more information on enabling the SDT Connector so each user has secure tunneled remote RPD/VNC/Telnet/HHTP/
HTTPS/SoL access to the network connected hosts refer Chapter 6.
