the NTP Server field.
5. To change between Static and DHCP addressing, select an option in the
Addressing Mode area.

User Rights Management
If your facility has installed and configured the DashBoard Server and URM
feature, you may need to enter a URM user name and password to access the
frame and any of the devices installed in the frame. For details on configuring and
using the DashBoard Server and URM feature, refer to the DashBoard Server and
URM User Manual.
Using a Master Password
Right-clicking an openGear frame node in the tree view of DashBoard provides
the option to Lock/Unlock Access which requires the user to enter a Master
Password before gaining access to the frame and the cards installed in it. This
Master Password can be the same for all frames listed in the DashBoard client, or
unique to each frame, or a mix.
When using the DashBoard Server and URM, openGear frame nodes in the Tree
View display a lock icon to inform the user that restrictions are in place. This lock
icon indicates that the node is locked and requires a Master Password, or that the
user must log into the DashBoard client with a valid user account, to gain access
to the node.
For More Information on the lock icon, refer to the DashBoard Server and URM
User Manual.
