Administrator Account Privileges
The Linksys IP phone support two levels of administration privileges: Administrator and User. Both
privileges can be password protected.
Note By default, there are no passwords assigned for either the Administrator account or the User account.
The Administrator account has the privilege to modify all the web profile parameters and can also
modify the passwords of both Administrator and User account. The User account only has the privilege
to access part of the web profile parameters. The parameters that the User account can access are
specified using the Administrator account on the Provisioning page of the administration web server.
To directly access the Administrator account level privilege, use the following URL:
http://ipaddress/admin/voice
If the password has been set for the Administrator account, the browser prompts for authentication. The
User account name and the Administrator account name cannot be changed.
When browsing pages with the Administrator account privilege, you can switch to User account
privilege by clicking the User Login link.
If the User account password is set, the browser prompts for authentication when you click the User
Login link). From the User account, you can switch to the Administrator account by clicking the Admin
Login link. Authentication is required if the Administrator account password has been set.
Note Switching between User and Administrator accounts or between basic and advanced views discards any
uncommitted changes that have already been made on the web pages.
