• 'Password Change Interval': Duration (in minutes) of the validity of the Web login
passwords. When the duration expires, the user must change the password in
order to log in again.
• 'User Inactivity Timeout': If the user has not logged into the Web interface within
this duration, the status of the user becomes inactive and the user can no longer
access the Web interface. The user can only log in to the Web interface if its
status is changed (to New or Valid) by a Security Administrator or Master user
(see ''Configuring Management User Accounts'' on page 74).
• 'Session Timeout': Duration (in minutes) of inactivity (i.e., no actions are
performed in the Web interface) of a logged-in user, after which the Web session
expires and the user is automatically logged off the Web interface and needs to
log in again to continue the session. You can also configure the functionality per
user in the Local Users table (see ''Configuring Management User Accounts'' on
page 74), which overrides this global setting.
3. Under the Security group, configure the following parameters:

username or password) after which the device blocks access to the user for a
user-defined duration (previous step).

themselves and for other users in the Local Users table (see ''Configuring
Management User Accounts'' on page 74).
• You can only change the password if the duration configured in the 'Password
Change Interval' has elapsed (see ''Configuring Web Session and Access
Settings'' on page 79).
