User Accounts - ADDER AdderLink iPEPS User Manual

User accounts

This section allows you to manage up to sixteen separate accounts.
The first of the sixteen accounts is the admin account and is the only account
with access rights to the configuration menus. The user name and access rights
are fixed for the admin account, the only change possible for this account is the
password.
There are fifteen user account positions.
To create a new account
1 Enter the required User Name to activate that position (the Password and
access tick box positions will become editable).
2 Optionally enter a password for the user account.
3 Tick/untick the Local and/or Remote options that are appropriate to the user.
4 Click the Save button to register your changes.
To get here
1 Using VNC viewer or a browser, log on as the 'admin' user.
2 Click the 'Configure' button in the top right corner.
3 Click the 'User Accounts' option.
User Name
All user names must consist of lower case characters or numbers only. No
symbols or upper case characters are permissible. The user name can be
between 1 and 16 characters in length.
Password
Passwords are case sensitive and can include certain keyboard symbols. The
password can be between 1 and 16 characters in length (or can be left blank
for no password - not recommended). It is important to note, however, that
the password background remains shaded in amber while the iPEPS considers
your entered password to be too easy to guess. A suitable password is best
constructed using a mixture of more than 6 letters, numbers and punctuation
characters.
Local
When ticked, the selected user can gain access using the local KVM console
directly connected to the iPEPS (dual access models only).
Remote
When ticked, the selected user can gain access via an IP network link, such as a
local intranet or the wider Internet (depending on how the iPEPS is connected).
