7.3.5 User Management
The User Management page allows administrators to Add, Edit and
Delete User and Administrator accounts. Up to 64 accounts can be
established, with any combination of Administrators and Users. The
Port Access settings can not be configured using the Web Management
Interface, and must be configured via the Remote OSD.
• To add a new account, fill in the account information and click the
Add button. The new account shows up in the list.
• To edit an existing account, highlight it in the list, and then update
the account information that appears on the right side of the page.
When all information has been updated, click on the Update button.
• To delete an existing account, highlight it in the list and click the
Remove button. When clicking the Remove button, you are not
asked to confirm whether you want to delete the selected account. It
is automatically deleted.
• To clear the account information on the right side of the page
without affecting the selected account, click the Reset button. In
addition to clearing all account information, this de-selects any
accounts that were selected prior to clicking the Reset button. It’s as
if you just entered the User Management page for the first time.
• When you are done adding, updating or removing information from
the User Management page, click the Apply button to apply your
changes.
The table describes the account information fields and settings that are
found in the User Management page.

Interface and the Local Console OSD.

attempts that will be allowed from a remote computer.
