6.3.2 User Management
Access to the Embedded Web Server is controlled by dual access-level username and
password.
To prevent unauthorized access to the Embedded Web Server, two levels of security are
available: Administrator (also used for Telnet access) and Monitoring. Each employs a
different username and password. Users can access the Embedded Web Server as either:
 Administrator: all Web screens are read-write (i.e., they can be modified). Default
username ‘Admin’; default password ‘Admin’.
 Monitoring: all Web screens are read-only (i.e., cannot be modified).
The first time a browser request is made, the user is requested to provide Administrator or
Monitoring username and password to obtain access. Subsequent requests are negotiated
by the browser on behalf of the user so that the user doesn’t have to re-enter the username
and password for each request as long as the user is not idle for more than five minutes
(300 seconds). Note that the request is still authenticated (the Embedded Web Server uses
the MD5 authentication method supported by the HTTP 1.1 protocol).
Note that the password and username can be a maximum of 19 case-sensitive characters.
¾ To change login username and password, and define access
rights:
1. Open the 'User Management' screen (Advanced Configuration menu > User
Management).

2. In the 'Username' field, enter a username.
3. In the 'New Password' field, enter the new password for the username.
4. In the 'Confirm New Password' field, enter the same password that you entered in the
'New Password' field in Step 3.
