Initial Access to the Video Receiver
Check Network Settings
The Video Receiver can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information. By default the Video Receiver requires the Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. Please refer to “Network settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Video Receiver, restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.
Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access
The default Administrator’s password is blank and the Video Receiver initially will not ask for any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the Video Receiver will ask for the user’s name and password before each access. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only option is to restore to the original factory default settings.
