Chapter 6 User Interfaces
6.1 User Control
The modem has both front-panel and web browser user interfaces.
For remote web browsing, there are two fixed user names, namely, admin and user. The
admin user can view and change the modem configuration, while user can only view the
modem settings. Only admin can change the passwords associated with these two user
names.
There is no restriction on the number of users (as either admin or user) that can be
logged in at the same time. Remote admin users who log in while the modem is under
local front-panel control will be restricted to view-only permissions.
6.1.1 Local Mode
Local mode allows control of the modem from the front-panel interface only. Web users
are still able to log in and view the modem settings in this mode.
6.1.2 Takeaway Mode
In Takeaway mode, the modem can be controlled through the front-panel or via a remote
admin user at the same time. When the modem is switched out of Takeaway mode to
Local mode then all remote admin users will be automatically logged out.
While Takeaway mode is very convenient, it is essential for there to be clear operational
procedures in place to avoid conflicts arising in relation to modem control.
