IF61 Fixed Reader User’s Manual 33
Setting Up Logins
To ensure login security for configuring or maintaining the IF61,
you should use a password server or at least change the default
user name and password.
• A password server is typically an embedded authentication
server (EAS) or other RADIUS server. To use a password
server, you must have a password server on the network that
contains the user name/password database. On the IF61, you
need to enable RADIUS for login authorization.
When you attempt to log in to the IF61, you must enter a
user name and password. This login is sent to the RADIUS
server, which compares the login to its list of authorized
logins. If a match is found, you can log in to the IF61 with
read/write privileges.
For help, see the next section, “Configuring the IF61 to Use a
Password Server.”
• If you do not want to use a password server, you should
change the default login user name and password, and create a
read-only password. For help, see “Changing the Default
Login” on page 35.
Configuring the IF61 to Use a Password Server
If you use a password server to manage users who log in to this
IF61, you need to tell the IF61 how to communicate with the
password server and then you need to configure the password
server.
To configure the IF61 to use a password server
1 From the menu, click Security > Passwords. The Passwords
screen appears.
Note: If errors occur and you cannot log in to the IF61, restore
defaults via a serial connection to reset all passwords to default
values. For help, see “Restoring the IF61 to the Default
Configuration” on page 100.
