Logging on

Use passwords to limit access to the TVR 30. Only
authorized users should be able to modify menu settings or
carry out certain tasks.
The TVR 30 is shipped with one predefined user configured
as the system administrator and seven predefined standard
users. The default system administrator log on uses admin
as the account name with a default password of 1234. The
seven predefined standard users are labeled User1 to
User7 with a default password of 4321 and level 4 access.
Only the system administrator can manage users. The
administrator can customize the standard users and
allocate their access rights.
You can modify the admin password but not the admin
user name. We recommend that you change the admin
password once you have completed the installation and
setup to protect against unauthorized access.
Caution: Keep the admin password in a safe place. If you
should forget it, you must return the TVR 30 to the service
center to be reconfigured.
