User Accounts Configuration
The User Accounts Configuration Screen is accessed by clicking the User Accounts button on the
Configuration Screen. Authorized user accounts can be created here by the Administrator.
Figure 49. User Accounts Configuration Screen
The User Accounts Configuration Screen allows management of up to sixteen separate accounts. The first
account is always the administrator account. It cannot be deleted, because it is the only account with access to
the configuration menus.
The Administrator account’s user name and access rights are fixed. Only the password can be modified. The
UL2-DVI in its initial state has no password for the admin account. It is highly recommended that a suitable
password be set up for this account as a final step during the installation of the unit.
It should also be noted that the UL2-DVI only considers this first account an administrator account, even if
other accounts have similar access rights. Access to administrator only features like the Configuration screens
is only granted to users who log in with the admin account.
In addition to the admin account, the User Accounts Configuration Screen contains fields to enter 15 more user
accounts. To create a new user account, enter a username in a blank User Name field. The username can be
between 1 and 32 characters long, and must consist of only numbers and lowercase letters. Uppercase letters,
symbols and non-English characters are not accepted. On leaving the User Name field after entering a valid
username, the other fields for that user account become enabled.
The next field is the Password field. A password can be between 1 and 16 characters long. It is a good idea to
create strong passwords that are at least 6 characters in length, using combinations of letters, numbers and
punctuation marks.
The next three fields of User Accounts are access rights for that user. Click in them to activate or deactivate
that access right. A check mark in the box indicates that the user has that access right. The access rights are
Local, Remote and Power. Local is not relevant to the UL2-DVI, and is permanently disabled. Enable Remote
access to allow the user access to the unit over the network. Power access gives the user the right to control
an attached Remote Power Switch.
