authenticated System Administrator via the Embedded Web Server Interface ( denoted hereafter as the Web UI), follow 
the instructions under “Accessing the Embedded Web Server as a System Administrator” under “Accessing Administration 
and Configuration Settings” in Section 2 of the applicable System Administration Guide (SAG)
.  
To log in as an authenticated System Administrator via the Local User Interface (denoted hereafter in this document as 
the Control Panel), follow “Accessing the Control Panel as a System Administrator” under “Accessing Administration and 
Configuration Settings” in Section 2 of the SAG. 
To log in as an authenticated user who is not the System Administrator ‘admin’ user, follow the instructions for “Accessing 
the Embedded Web Server as a System Administrator” under “Accessing Administration and Configuration Settings” in 
Section 2 of the applicable System Administration Guide (SAG), except that instead of entering ‘admin’ for the User ID 
and the system administrator password the user should enter his/her User ID and his/her authentication password.  
For secure operation do not use the ‘Simple Login’ method. 
b.  Follow the instructions located in Chapter 4, Security, in the SAG to set up the security functions listed in Item a above. 
Note that whenever the SAG
 
requires that the System Administrator provide an IPv4 address, IPv6 address or port number 
the values should be those that pertain to the particular device being configured. 
 
 All guidelines in this document apply to the System Administrator unless explicitly stated otherwise.
