5. Security Features
This chapter provides information about configuring the security features of the phone.
5.1 User and Administrator Identification
By default, some menu options are protected by different privilege levels: user and administrator. You can
also customize the access permission for the web user interface and phone user interface.
The ALE Myriad Series phones support access levels of admin, var and user.
When logging into the web user interface or accessing advanced settings on the phone, as an administrator,
you need an administrator password, then you will be able to access various menu options. The default
username and password for administrator is “admin/123456”. The default username and password for user
is “user/user”. Both “administrator” and “user” can log into the web user interface, and administrator will see
all the user options. The default username and password for the user is “user”.
For security reasons,
you’d better change the default user or administrator password. Since advanced menu
options are strictly used by the administrator, users can configure them only if they have administrator
privileges.
