20.1 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, while the user level is read-only. The user level can access only the device's

status information; users 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 log out

before closing the browser. The default is 4 hours, 0 minutes.

For security reasons, 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.
