Once a user name and password is accepted, the UNIMUX will connect to the first CPU that is powered-ON and the user has
access to. To enter Command Mode, press <Ctrl> + <`> (tilde/accent key).

See the Command Mode functions described on page 13 to control the system of CPUs within the limitations as determined by
the administrator.

Note: If security is not enabled, the message “Press F1 to Autologin” will appear in the login screen. While security is

using the name and password when security is not enabled.
