User accounts
This section allows you to manage up to sixteen separate accounts.

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 until the AdderLink IP considers your entered password to be cryptographically strong. This is best achieved using a mixture of more than six letters and numerals.
Local
When ticked, the selected user can gain access using the local KVM console directly connected to the AdderLink IP.
Modem
When ticked, the selected user can gain access via a modem or ISDN link (requires external modem/ISDN equipment to be connected to the AdderLink).
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 AdderLink IP is connected).
Power
When ticked, the selected user will be permitted to control the power input to host systems (requires optional power control switch unit(s) to be fitted).
