The switch provides configurable options for customizing for
example,
❑ Naming the switch and its ports
Names are more descriptive and easier to remember than
addresses.
Port names can be associated with the user assigned to the
port or an office location. The need to use symbolic names
becomes more apparent as you add more switches and
therefore multiply the number of ports you must manage.
❑ Enabling security features
Although passwords are not required to access the
management menus, with the Omega Options menu, you can
prevent (disable) either Local Omega, Remote Omega, or web-
based Omega, create password protection, and enable
timeout.
A timeout value automatically terminates a management
session after a given period when someone leaves a current
session unattended.
