Passwords page

The fields on the Passwords page are for entering and verifying passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice; once in the Password field and then again in the Re-enter Password field. Characters in these fields are masked by asterisks (*****).

The following characters are invalid in passwords: {space} + ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

As shown in figure 4-4, password-protected connections allow two levels of protection: administrator and user. Administrators have access to status information and all function control. Users have access to status information and limited function control. Read-only users have no privileges, and can only view current settings.

Users without a password when passwords have been set are referred to as read-onlyusers.

To set passwords for each level of user, do the following on the Passwords page:

1.Click Passwords on the menu (on the left side of the window). The Passwords screen (figure 4-4) is displayed.

2.Enter the password(s) for administrator, and user.

If there is no administrator password, your user password is not saved.

3.Tab over to the second field to reenter the same password.

4.Click the Submit button to enter the changes, or click the Cancel button to revert to previous settings. If a field is left blank, no password(s) is assigned.

To clear a password, enter a single space in each field and click the Submit button.

Once passwords have been set, the Web server window appears whenever a user accesses the unit (figure 4-5). If you click OK without entering a password, you are a read-only user.

If you want to clear a password protection at a certain access level, enter a single space in each appropriate field and click the Submit button.
