OSD Security Features
In order to prevent unauthorized access to the computers, the OSD provides
two security features: Password; and Lock/Unlock Console. If a password is set,
the console can only be locked/unlocked, by first specifying the password.
When the console is locked, only the current monitor screen displays. Attempts
to input information from the console have no effect; attempts to switch to a
different port, either form console or by pressing the manual switches have no
effect, either. The only way to regain access to the computer is by unlocking the
console.
Password
To set a password:
1. Highlight this item, then press [Enter].
2. You are presented with a screen that allows you to key in your password.
The password may be up to 15 characters long, and can consist of any
combination of letters and numbers (A-Z,0-9).
3. Move the highlight bar to Password, then press [Enter].
4. Key in the new password, then press [Enter].
You are asked to key the password in again, in order to confirm that it is
correct.
5. Key in the new password again, in order to confirm that it is correct, then
press [Enter].
If the two entries match, the new password is accepted and the screen
displays the following message:
PASSWORD SET OK
If the entries do not match, the screen displays the message:
INVALID PASSWORD
in which case you must start again from the beginning.
Note: To modify or delete a previous password, use the backspace key to
erase individual letters or numbers, or, with the cursor at the beginning
of the password press the [Spacebar] to erase the entire password at
once.
