5.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the security settings for the Cohu 7100 cameras, which are contained on
the Access Settings page. The items on this page allow personalization passwords and to
configure the level of accessibility for the camera. To navigate to the Access Settings page, either
select Access Control from the navigational pull-down menu located on the View Images page,
or click the Access tab that appears in the settings menu. After making the selection, the Access
Settings page appears.
Use the pull-down menus and text input fields to adjust the camera s level of security.

information on how to use the browser-based settings pages.
Note: Each setting on the Access Settings page is linked to a comprehensive help page.
Access the help text for a particular setting by clicking the question mark icon that
appears next to the desired topic.
5.2 Passwords
The camera has two types of password protection: general password protection for restricting
unwanted users from accessing the camera, and management or superuser password protection
which restricts whom can enter privileged commands. Password protection in both cases consists
of a username and a password. Although the usernames cannot be changed, the passwords should
be personalized.
Note: It is strongly recommended that the default passwords be changed.
A session ends either when Logout Session button is clicked or when exiting the browser.
Both passwords must be seven or fewer alphanumeric or punctuation characters (ASCII 0x21 to
0x7e) with no spaces. Ideally, use a mix of numbers, letters, and punctuation characters to
decrease the likelihood of others guessing the password. The passwords are not case sensitive.
