Administrator's Guide

Chapter 7. Administration
User Administration
On the User Administration page, you change the administration password for the admin
account on your Telecommuting Module and create other administrator user accounts. The
characters in the password are displayed as little stars. Remember that the password is sent
unencrypted over the network if you use HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Settings made on this page (the admin password and other accounts) will not be included
when saving the configuration to file. This means that you cannot move accounts defined on
one Telecommuting Module onto another one.
You can authenticate administrators using a RADIUS server instead of a local password (se-
lect this on the Access Control page under Basic Configuration). When RADIUS is used,
you must also enter a RADIUS server on the RADIUS page under Basic Configuration.
More information about how to configure the RADIUS server to authenticate administrators
can be found in the RADIUS section.
Password For the ’admin’ Account
The admin user is predefined. That user can make changes, load configurations, apply con-
figurations and log on the Telecommuting Module via the serial cable. You can’t remove this
user or change its privileges, only change its password.
Old password
Enter the old password for the admin user.
