 | Admin | 
 | 
| 
 | Administrator PC Mac Address | This is used to identify the computer. Provide this information if this computer is | 
| 
 | 
 | normally used. | 
| 
 | 
 | If the computer has both a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, and a Wireless interface, then it | 
| 
 | 
 | will have a different MAC address for each. The MAC address is also called the | 
| 
 | 
 | “Physical Address”. This address is obtained by checking the Properties for the desired | 
| 
 | 
 | interface, but the provided Set to my PC buttons make this unnecessary. | 
| 
 | 
 | Ethernet Port - the MAC address, on the computer, for the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. | 
| 
 | 
 | Wireless Interface - the MAC address, on the computer, for the Wireless interface. | 
| 
 | 
 | Set to my PC - only one of these buttons will work. If connected via Wireless, the | 
| 
 | 
 | button for the Wireless interface will insert the computer’s Wireless MAC address into | 
| 
 | 
 | the field provided. If connected via the Wired Ethernet interface, the button for the | 
| 
 | 
 | Ethernet port will insert the computer’s Ethernet MAC address into the field provided. | 
| 
 | No login required for admin PC | If enabled, and the MAC address of the computer is provided, users are not prompted | 
| 
 | 
 | for the password when they connect using the computer. | 
| 
 | 
 | Users should set a password for the admin login, using the password fields below. This | 
| 
 | 
 | option is provided to allow users to set a password, but avoid the inconvenience of being | 
| 
 | 
 | prompted for the password whenever they want to change the settings. | 
| 
 | Change Admin login | This login is required to change any settings on the APC  | 
| 
 | 
 | (By default, the password is APC, so the first time a connection is made, there is no | 
| 
 | 
 | prompt for the password.) | 
| 
 | 
 | Check this box to change the current password, and then enter the required password in | 
| 
 | 
 | the fields below. If this checkbox is enabled, and the password fields left blank, then the | 
| 
 | 
 | password is cleared (set to no password). | 
| 
 | New Password | Enter the new password here. | 
| 
 | 
 | Note that if the password is set, a prompt appears for the username and password when | 
| 
 | 
 | a connection is made. Use Admin as the user name. | 
| 
 | Verify Password | |
