ASSIGNING AUTOMATIC LOGIN PERMISSION TO A USER

The DX8100 allows one user to automatically log in to the DX8100 application. The administrator must assign automatic login permission to the user. Once automatic login permission is assigned to the user, the user will be automatically logged in to the DX8100 application. In this case, the assigned user does not have to enter the user name and password.

NOTE: Automatic login user permission makes the DX8100 more vulnerable because a higher level user is logged in every time.

To assign automatic login permission:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click the Setup button . The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click the User button . The User page is displayed.

3.In the Auto Login User drop-down selection box, select a user.

4.Click Apply.

The next time the DX8100 application is started, the assigned user is logged in automatically.
