To reduce the workload of configuring mute terminal users separately, the following workflow applies:
• Configure a list of permitted MAC address ranges for mute terminals, and configure UAM to
generate a set of predefined accounts.
• When a mute terminal is connected to the network, UAM checks the MAC address of the terminal.
If the MAC address is permitted, UAM automatically changes the predefined account into a formal
mute terminal user account, which is represented by the MAC address of the mute terminal in
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format.
To improve efficiency, UAM predefines a set of special accounts that contain common mute terminal
information. The predefined accounts are hidden from the configuration pages. When you create a mute
terminal user, UAM simply adds the customized information to a predefined account, shortening the
initial authentication time.
UAM offers the following functions for mute terminal user management:
• Managing the permitted MAC addresses for mute terminals—This function is performed by the
mute terminal user configuration functional module.
• Managing the automatically generated mute terminal users—You can manage mute terminal users
as you manage ordinary access users. Because you cannot change the password of a mute
terminal user, the configuration page does not contain the options Allow User to Change Password,
Enable Password Strategy, and Modify Password at Next Login. For other functions of mute
terminal user management, see " Managing ordinary access users ."
Accessing the mute terminal user configuration profile list page
A mute terminal user configuration profile determines the MAC addresses of mute terminals that are
permitted to access the network.
To view the mute terminal user configuration profile list:
1. Click the User tab.
2. Select Access User > Mute Terminal User from the navigation tree.
The list includes all mute terminal user configuration profiles.
Mute terminal user configuration profile list contents
{
Profile Name—Unique name of the mute terminal user configuration profile. Click the link to
view profile name information.
{
User Name Prefix—UAM creates a platform user named User Name Prefix+Mute Terminal
MAC Address together with each mute terminal user.
{
Service Group—Service group to which the mute terminal user configuration profile belongs for
decentralized management.
{
User Group—User group to which the mute terminal user generated based on the configuration
profile belongs.
{
Expiration Time—Date when the generated mute terminal user expires and becomes invalid. An
empty field indicates that the mute terminal user never expires.
{
Modify—Click the Modify icon to modify the mute terminal user configuration profile.
3. Click Refresh to view the latest list of mute terminal user configuration profiles.
