Logging In to the DX8100 Application

To access the features of the DX8100 Series HVR, you must log in with a valid user name and password. The DX8100 comes equipped with a built-in user account named “Guest.” Each time the unit is turned on, the Guest account is automatically activated. In addition to the Guest account, there are four other user access levels, or groups, that can be configured on the DX8100. The Guest user is granted only limited access to the system. The other four access levels range from the Administrator group, with the most rights and privileges, to the Restricted group, with the least rights and privileges.

To operate and configure all but the most basic features of the DX8100, you must be assigned a user account other than Guest. If you have not been assigned a user account, contact your system administrator before proceeding.

For information about the rights and permissions of the user groups, refer to Definition of User Access Levels on page 210.

NOTE: The Guest user account does not have access to the setup features of the DX8100. Only users with Administrator and Power User accounts are allowed access to setup functions.
