Note: The User Name can contain from 1 to 127 alphanumeric characters (however you can also use the special characters
"-" "_" and "." ). There are no restrictions on the characters that can be used in the user Password (which each can contain
up to 254 characters). However, only the first eight Password characters are used to make the password hash.

Note: There are no specific limits on the number of users you can set up; nor on the number of users per serial port or host.
So multiple users (Users and Administrators) can control /monitor the one port or host. Similarly there are no specific limits
on the number of Groups and each user can be a member of a number of Groups (in which case they take on the cumulative
access privileges of each of those Groups). A user does not have to be a member of any Groups (but if the User is not even a
member of the default user group then they will not be able to use the Management Console to manage ports).
