The "Password" Tab
The "Password" tab contains settings for protecting the access device options with a password.
If you select "Do not use Password", there will be no password required to view or change the
access device's settings.
If you select "Protect device Setup Options with Password, a dialog box will pop up where you
will be required to enter a password twice. Then, when users click on the "Setup" button in the
"Options" sub-menu, they will be asked to enter the password. No other menus are affected by
this password.
NComputing recommends setting the password to improve security.
The "Update" Tab
Your NComputing L-Series access device may at times require a persistent firmware update
(versus a non-persistent dynamic firmware update on boot-up if a newer version is on the
server). To perform a persistent firmware update, select the "Update" tab and click on the
"Update" button. When the access device asks you for a password, enter "updateme" (without
the quotes). Your access device will walk you through the process of updating the firmware.
It is crucially important that you follow the instructions. If you turn off the access device during
the firmware update process, it may become non-functional.
After the firmware update process is complete, reset the access device by turning it off and on.
Certain changes in the vSpace software may require a persistent firmware update in each
access device connecting to it. Read the Release Notes for a given vSpace update to see if
such a firmware update is required for the given vSpace release.
