Remote Access Control

You can determine whether or not an administrator or other authorized person has access to configuring your Gateway. This access can be turned on or off in the Web interface.

Password Protection

Access to your Netopia device can be controlled through two access control accounts, Admin or User.

The Admin, or administrative user, performs all configuration, management or mainte- nance operations on the Gateway.

The User account provides monitor capability only.

A user may NOT change the configuration, perform upgrades or invoke maintenance functions.

Account usernames can now be changed for the Admin and User accounts.
