3. Configuring the ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB
3.1 Configuration summary
The ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB 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
ServSwitch's front panel keys (see section 4.6). The following steps summarize 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 ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB is configured via the ADMIN user account. The
ServSwitch 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 ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB 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 ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB 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 ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB 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).
