•	Login Password	43
•	Automatic Log Out	44
• IP Filtering Security Level		44

Login Password

The Diva 2440 provides a system password that restricts access to the web-based configuration and command line interfaces. This ensures that configuration changes can only be made by authorized personnel. By default, no password is defined.

Defining a password

1.From the main page, click ‘Security Settings’.

2.Enter the current password in the ‘Old Login Password’ field.

Enter the new password in the ‘Login Password’ and ‘Repeat Login Password’ fields.

3.Click ‘Save’. The changes take effect immediately.

If the password you enter in ‘Old Login Password’ does not match the current password, the changes will not be saved. Likewise, if the ‘New Login Password’ and ‘Repeat Login Password’ fields do match, the changes will not be saved.

Erasing the system password

To erase the system password:

1.Open the ‘Security Settings’ menu.

2.Enter the current password in the ‘Old login password field’.

3.Clear the text (if any) in the ‘New Login Password’ and ‘Repeat Login Password’ fields.

4.Click ‘Save’.

The next time you log in you will not need to enter a password.
