For initial setup and con guration, you can use the default Windows Administrator username and

password to log in to applications and machines as you work on your K2 SAN. However, for ongoing

security you should change the username/password and/or create unique accounts with similar

privileges. When you do this, you must ensure that the accounts are present locally on all K2 SAN

machines, including control point PCs, K2 Media Servers, K2 Media Clients, K2 Summit Production

Clients, and other iSCSI clients.

NetCentral also has accounts for security levels, as follows:

NetCentral Administrator

NetCentral Technician

NetCentral User

Grass Valley recommends mapping the NetCentral administrator with the K2 administrator level.

If you are using the Grass Valley Control Point PC, this mapping is already done for you at the

factory, so you can log on to NetCentral as administrator using the K2 administrator

(K2Admin/K2admin) logon. You can also assign other NetCentral groups to users, as necessary for

your site s security policies. You need Windows administrator privileges to add or modify a user s

privileges. For more information on NetCentral security, see the NetCentral User Guide.

About credentials in SiteConfig

SiteCon g requires administrative privileges on devices in order to perform most of the network

con guration and deployment tasks. If you add a device based on a known device type, SiteCon g

knows the default administrator login and password to use. Then, when you use remote desktop or

perform software deployment to the device, SiteCon g automatically uses these credentials. These

credentials are called "global" credentials for the device since the same credentials are used on all

devices of that type in the system.

You can choose to override the default credentials for a given device type. For example, if you have

speci ed a different administrator account or a different password on the devices when commissioning

the system, then you want SiteCon g to use these modi ed credentials.

It is possible to also override the default credentials for a single device.
