Operating Sylphit's KVM Switch
User Name / Password
Should you want to be able to authenticate users and prevent unauthorized access to
Sylphit console, Sylphit supports one (1) Supervisor and eight (8) additional Users.
The factory-set default user is "Supervisor".
A "Supervisor" has access to all ports and is privileged to edit all settings and options.
A "User" can only switch to ports to which the "User" has been granted access rights, as well
as use the "Port Search" function from Sylphit's OSD Main menu.
Depending on its settings,
Sylphit may prompt you to
enter a user name and
password in order to gain
access to the console.
User Security is originally
factory-set to be disabled.
The factory-set default Supervisor's user-name is eight zeros (00000000).
The factory-set default password is eight zeros (00000000).
To enter the factory-set defaults, use the "0" key located on the top row of the keyboard.
Note: Do not use the zero key on the numeric keypad.
At the login prompt:
• Type in the user's name and hit the "Enter" key.
• Type in the password and hit the "Enter" key.
Warning: If you are not familiar with the OSD menu operation, you should disable User
Security (see: Hot-Key Settings) and you should refrain from changing the factory-set user
name and password – i.e. keep the eight zero (00000000) default values. Once the user
name/password has been changed, should the new password get unfortunately forgotten,
Sylphit unit will need to be shipped back to Rackit's labs for a password reset.
