Then it will return to the overview screen .
Password security: The Power Xpert SPD is shipped with factory
default user authentication credentials to allow for initial installation
and configuration . However, factory default authentication
credentials are often well known, easily discoverable, and present
a significant security risk; therefore, the admin user name and
admin password should be changed at installation to increase
cybersecurity protection .
1. Limit access to the PX-SPD to reduce cybersecurity risk .
2. The maximum number of users that can be setup is six .
3. User names should be five characters in length or more .
4. Password expiration is configurable; the default is set to
90 days .
5. Up to three users can access the PX-SPD simultaneously .
Admin users assign a role to new users from one of four possible
roles under the User Management tab through the web UI .
