Initial Startup
Upon startup, the Command Mode On Screen Display (OSD) menu will be displayed, auto-logging you in as the administrative user
“root”. By default, the user “root” has full administrative rights and access to all Host Adapters and their connected CPUs.
To logout as a user, press <L> and the login screen will appear
If you logout and want to log back in as the administrator “root” either ;
A) type <root> at the user prompt and press <Enter> or <Tab>
type <nti> at the password prompt and press <Enter>
-orB) power-cycle the PRIMUX and be automatically logged-in as root
NOTE: In PRIMUX units with firmware version 1.9 and earlier, the administrator name was “ADMINISTRATOR” and the password
was “NTI” (all upper case letters). The PRIMUX must be using version 2.0 and later to work with a PRIMUX Matrix Switch.
Configure User Station for Matrix Mode
The User Station must be configured for use with a Matrix Switch instead of as a Stand Alone unit before the Command Mode menu will
recognize any connected CPUs. From the Command Mode menu, enter the following key sequence:
<A>-<R>-<M>-<Spacebar>-<Y> , then power-cycle the User Station.
This sequence of key presses will open the Administration menu (A), then the User Station Configuration menu (R), select the Mode
configuration option (M), toggle the mode from Standalone (the default) to Matrix (Spacebar), and confirm the configuration change (Y).
You must power-cycle the User Station to establish communication with the Matrix Switch.
Menu sequence for Matrix Switch Mode
To return to the Command Mode menu, either press <Esc> twice, or <F10> once. Any connected CPUs should now be listed in the
Command Mode OSD menu as “PN:xxxxxxxx>” where xxxxxxxx is the part number of the Host Adapter (this number can be found on the
back side of the Host Adapter).
6
Make a Connection
From the Command Mode menu, to make connection to any Host Adapter,
press <Up arrow> or <Down arrow> to highlight and select the desired Host Adapter,
press <Enter> to connect to it.
-ORuse the mouse to highlight the desired Host Adapter to connect to and left-click on it to connect.
Press <Esc> to exit Command Mode and use the connected CPU.
Press <Ctrl> + <`> to return to the Command Mode OSD menu.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed your PRIMUX Matrix Switch.
