11.3 Get the Configuration from the Rack
Use the MPS Setup software to Get and view the current
rack configuration.
• Open MPS Setup Software
• Wait for the software to connect
• Select ‘Get’
• The current configuration will be uploaded
11.4 Send the Configuration to the Rack
Sending the configuration is a two-step process.
Step 1: Select Prepare to Send. This instructs the software to build and validate the configuration file.
If your configuration has errors, the software shows the errors and prevents the user from continuing
to Step 2.
Step 2: Select ‘Commit’ to send the configuration to the rack.
Sending a configuration may trip relay channels. Externally isolate the rack from other
systems before performing any rack maintenance.
11.5 User Account Connection Privileges
There are two accounts that are used to control access to the VC-8000. The User (View Only)
account and the Administrator account.
The User (View Only) account is only for remote access. It will allow remote users to see information,
but they cannot change any settings.
The Administrator account is used for remote and local (USB) access. Remote connections require a
password, and the password is requested at the time the connection is made. Local (USB)
connections behave differently – depending on the Administrator password setting.
Local (USB) connections are always Administrator connections. If there is no password set on the
Administrator account, Administrator login is not required, and the connection is automatically granted
full access.
Even if there is an Administrator password, local (USB) connections will allow anyone to connect
(without a password) and see data (View Only). Administrative login will be requested the first time
the user attempts an administrative action – such as downloading a configuration file. If the user
cannot provide the password, the action will not be permitted. After the user enters the Administrative
password, the connection is granted full administrative privileges until the session is disconnected.
See Table 11-1 for a full list of account privileges.
