User Management
By default, two user accounts exist:
• admin, with 'Read/W
rite' privileges
• guest, with 'Read Only' privileges
By default, both of these accounts have blank passwords. The names are not case sensitive.
If you logon to a user account with 'Read/Write' privileges (i.e. as admin) you can use the
User Management screen to assign passwords and set security parameters for the default
accounts, and to add and delete accounts (other than admin) up to a maximum of six. Only a
user with 'Read/W
rite' privileges may modify data on the web interface screens, and only one
account may be created with 'Read/Write' privileges.
