4.1 Moderator credentials

The latest version of NovoPRO software (V1.6 and above) allows you to preset your moderator
status while offline, so that you will always connect to a session as the moderator, even if you are
not the first user to connect.
Overview
When using NovoPRO, the first connected user is assigned as the meeting moderator by default.
However, this may not be the intended result in real world as the "real" moderator may not be the
first user to join the session. New feature, "Moderator Credentials", is designed to address this
issue.
Here is how it works.
1. Moderator Credentials, consisting of a list of moderators and the corresponding passwords,
are stored on NovoPRO units. (Moderator Credentials are managed via software Remote
Manager.)
2. When a user device connects to a NovoPRO unit, the user device send its moderator
password (if any) to the NovoConenct unit. If the password matches the one stored on the
NovoPRO unit, the user device will be assigned as the moderator, regardless it is the first
device to connect or not.
The picture below illustrates the process. The remaining sections describe how to configure and
use this feature
