Admin Security
There are two types of user accounts available for accessing the Web Admin:
admin
and
user
. They
represent two user levels: the
admin
level has full administration access, the
user
level is read-only. The
user level can only access the device's status information; it cannot make any changes on the device.
A web login session will be logged out automatically when it has been idle longer than the
Web Session
Timeout
. Before the session expires, you may click the Logout button in the Web Admin to exit the
session
0 hours 0 minutes
signifies an unlimited session time. This setting should be used only in special
situations, as it will lower the system security level if users do not logout before closing the browser.
Default
: 4 hours 0 minutes.
For security reason, after logging in to the Web Admin Interface for the first time, it is recommended to
change the administrator password.
Configuring the administration interface to be accessible only from the LAN can further improve system
security.
Administrative Settings configuration is located at:
System>Admin Security
