Add Startup Profile Dialog Box
The Add Startup Profile dialog box displays the following items:
Domain
Select a domain from the drop-down list. The current login domain and local computer domain, if different, for the currently logged in Windows user, appear in this list.
Click the List Domain Members button to display list of domain members in the following list box. Depending on the size of your domain and speed of your network, this action could take a few moments or several minutes.
List Domain Members
Click to list the members of the specified domain in the following list box. You may need to wait a few moments or several minutes for this list to populate, depending on the size of the domain and speed of your network.
Windows Users List
Displays a list of Windows users for the specified domain.
To display Windows user names in this box, you must select a domain from the drop-down list and then click List Domain Members button. Depending on the size of your domain and speed of your network, this action could take a few moments or several minutes.
To specify a Windows user for a startup profile, select one from the list or enter one in the Windows User field.
Windows User
Enter the name of the Windows user for which you want to create an iFIX startup profile. You do not have to be connected to the domain from which the user is a member if you enter the name manually.
Optionally, instead of entering the Windows user name in this field, select a domain and click the List of Domain Members button to list the available Windows users for you to select from.
iFIX Nodename
Leave the default name or enter another name for the iFIX node that you want to associate with this Windows user. This name can up to eight characters long.
By default, the Windows user name appears in the iFIX Node Name field. If the Windows user name is more than 8 characters, the characters after the eighth one are truncated.
If the Windows user name starts with anything other than a letter, such as a number, the Startup Profile Manager uses the default node name prefix that you specified in the Options dialog box to generate a unique, valid node name.
For each startup profile using the default iFIX node name, a number is also added to the end of the default node name, starting with the number 1. For example, if the prefix is NODE, the default iFIX node names used are: NODE1, NODE2, NODE3, and so on.
NOTE: If you manually entered a Windows user name, you must also manually enter an iFIX node name. The default name is not used in this case.
SCU File
The location and name of the SCU file that you want the specified Windows user to use when starting iFIX. Optionally, click the Browse (…) button to search for a file.
