Communicating with the GARD 8000-Administrator Login

Upon successful login to the GARD 8000 unit the following page will be displayed. Unless the

Administrator ‘Admin’ User Name and Password were changed by the IT dept. or changed at

RFL due to a special request the default Administrative User Name and Passwords are

programmed for: Admin. Both User Name and Password are case sensitive.

Note

There is no ‘backdoor’ for the Admin password. The default password is ‘Admin’ but when

changed, the actual password has to be used. Please contact the factory for password recovery

procedure.

Only the Admin can access the administrator page. Any number of users can be added by the

administrator, with individual access levels.
