5.1.3 Setting the Password
The password for the WCM1800 may be changed from the system menu. The default
password is product specific either “wcm1820”, “wcm1800” or “wcm1400” However, for
deployment a more secure password may be required.
To change the unit password, select “Password” from the system menu. The WCM1800
will display the following:
Enter new password
Password >
Enter the new password, up to 16 alphanumeric characters. For security, each character
is shown on the screen as an asterisk “*”. Once the new password is entered, the display
changes to
Enter new password
Password >
***********
Verify>
Re-enter the new password. If the password is correctly verified the unit will assume the
new password for the next logon.
5.1.4 ‘View’ User
The WCM1800 supports two levels of access: admin and view. An Admin user has full
access rights over the WCM1800 configuration. A view user has read only access to the
configuration.
In some cases it may be desirable to prevent the “view” user access.
To disable the view user access, select the View User menu item and toggle the option to
disabled. It will now not be possible to log in with the “view” password.
