Introduction
Password protection
The system is password protected in the following ways:
• The
System/Codec
is password protected. You always need
to enter a username to sign in to the web and command line
interfaces.
You can also configure the system/codec to prompt for a
PIN-code before accessing all the on screen menus.
• The
Administrator settings menu
can be password protected
with a menu password.
• You can protect the
File system
of the codec by setting a
password for the
root
user. The root user is disabled by
default.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend that you set the passwords to
protect your video conference system.
