Digi CM User Guide 83
Introduction
The Digi CM unit has several default menus for easy configuration and access by different users.
Depending on access privileges, the menus available are the Web Interface, Configuration Menu,
and Port Access Menu. A Custom Menu feature for creating menus is also available through the web
interface.
The Custom Menu feature enables system administrators to create menus for specific users; in other
words, system administrators can create a customized interface to selected ports. Custom menus
can only be configured via the web however, they can only be accessed via the shell (command line).
Make custom menus
Before making custom menus, plan the kind of menus and menu items you want available to your
users. A good plan would include the following:
1 Add users to the system.
2 Create a menu name with sort and display features.
3 Add menu items and submenus to the new menu.
4 Assign users to the menus.
Add users
You cannot assign users to a menu until you have added users to the system. To add users, do the
following:
1 Access the web interface.
2 System administration > Users administration > Add
3 Enter the User name and User group from the drop down menu. Select Custom menu from the
drop down menu for the Shell program.
