Setting the Administrator settings menu password

When starting up the system for the first time the Administrator Settings menu password is not set.

Note: We strongly recommend that you define a password to protect the Administrator Settings menu, since these settings affect the behavior of the video conference system.

When you set a password for the Administrator settings menu, all users must enter the password to get access to this menu, either on screen when using the remote control, or on the touch screen if you are using a Touch controller.

The menu password can be set from the on-screen menu, using the remote control or from the command line interface; you neither can use a Touch controller nor the web interface.

Setting the Administrator Settings menu password using the remote control

1.In the on screen menu, go to Home > Settings > Administrator settings > Set menu password.

The password format is a string with 0–255 characters.

To deactivate the password leave the password input field empty.

2.Enter the menu password in the input field. The password you enter is hidden; each character is replaced with a star

(*).

On the remote control, press the # key to toggle between lower or upper case characters and numbers: abc/ ABC/123.

3.Select Save to save the changes, or Cancel to leave without saving.

4.Press Home (  ) to exit.

Setting the Administrator Settings menu password from a command line interface

1.Connect to the system through the network or the serial data port, using a command line interface (SSH or Telnet).

2.Type the following command:

xCommand SystemUnit MenuPassword Set Password: <password>

The password format is a string with 0–255 characters.
