Password protection

The system can be password protected in two
ways:
• The codec can be password protected with
an administrator password. If the codec is
password protected a user name and password
is required to logon to the codec.
• The Advanced menus can be password
protected with a menu password.
NOTE! When a new password has been defined
make sure you save a copy of the password in a
safe place.
Contact your TANDBERG representative if you have
forgotten the password.
