Root password
To change the administrator’s password, type the new password in both the Root password box
and Confirm password box. The passwords you enter will be displayed in asterisks for security
reasons. The maximum string length for a password is 16 characters. After clicking on Save to
validate the new password, a window will open to ask the administrator for the new password to
access the VPort.
Adding users
To add a new user, type the new user’s name in the Username box, the password in the User
password box, and select the authorization level by checking I/O access or Camera control.
Click on Add to insert the entry. The VPort 2141 has a total of 20 user accounts. Each user can be
given independent access rights to the external I/O access and camera control.
Managing users
If the access rights of some users need to be changed, find the user name from the drop down list
and click on Edit. A new window will appear for administrators to change the password and select
a different authorization. Administrators can also delete the selected user by clicking on Delete. A
message window will open next to confirm.
Snapshot mode
A maximum of 20 users can view the VPort’s images at the same time. Administrators can select
the Allow more guests with snapshot mode option to enable the snapshot mode for more users.
In this case, when the number of users exceeds 20, users will see the main page in snapshot mode
