Adding and editing administrator accounts

When the DFL-500 NPG is initially installed, it is configured with a single administrator account with the user name admin. From this administrator account, you can add and edit administrator accounts. You can also control the access level of each of these administrator accounts and, optionally, control the IP address from which the administrator can connect to the DFL-500 NPG.
