Enabling Login Limitations

same login name at the same time, and how long users are permitted to

stay idle before being forced to log out.

To enable login limitations:

1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Login Settings. The Login

Settings dialog appears.

2. Locate the Login Limitations section.

3. To prevent more than one person from using the same login at the

same time, select the "Prevent concurrent login with same username"

checkbox.

4. To adjust how long users can remain idle before they are forcibly

logged out by Dominion PX, select a time option in the Idle Timeout

Period field. The default is 10 minutes.

 X min: This type of option sets the time limit to X minutes, where X

is a number.

 X h: This type of option sets the time limit to X hours, where X is a

number.

 1 d: This option sets the time limit to 1 day.

5. Click OK to save the changes.

Tip: Keep the idle timeout to 20 minutes or less if possible. This reduces

the number of idle sessions connected, and the number of simultaneous

commands sent to Dominion PX.

Enabling Strong Passwords

Use of strong passwords makes it more difficult for intruders to crack user

passwords and access the Dominion PX device. By default, strong

passwords should be at least eight characters long and contain upper- and

lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters, such as @ or &.

To force users to create strong passwords:

1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Password Policy. The Password

Policy dialog appears.

2. Select the Strong Passwords checkbox to activate the strong

password feature. The following are the default settings:

Minimum length = 8 characters

Maximum length = 32 characters
