Administrator Password and User Password fields
The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the administrator’s rights and
privileges. The User Password field displays the password required to log on to the
matrix switcher via the Ethernet port as a user, without all of the administrator’s
rights and privileges. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case
and lower-case alphanumeric characters.
While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks
(************) as a security measure.
