Password protection

The system can be password protected in three ways:

1.The Advanced menus can be password protected with a menu password.

2.The codec can be password protected with an administrator password.

3.The web interface is password protected with the same administrator password as for the codec. NOTE! Requires a reboot of the codec.

NOTE! When a new password has been defined make sure you save a copy of the password in a safe place.

Contact your TANDBERG representative if you have forgotten the password.
