Introduction
This chapter addresses the functions that the Admin user or a user with Admin Level privileges might
do. This chapter uses the DeviceManager as the configuration method described in most
administrative functions. As a general rule, administrative functions are accessed from the menu bar
in the DeviceManager and under the
Administration
option in the WebManager’s navigation tree.
