User Accounts - Lindy SC5-IP User Manual

User accounts

This page 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 user 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 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. It is important to
note, however, that the password background remains shaded in amber while
the SC5-IP 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.
Confirm Pwd
Re-enter your password here to confirm that it is correct.
Local
When ticked, the selected user can gain access using the local KVM console
directly connected to the SC5-IP unit.
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 SC5-IP is connected).
