User Account Instructions
The Moxa industrial smart Ethernet switch supports the management of accounts, including establishing,
activating, modifying, disabling, and removing accounts. There are two levels of configuration access: admin
and user. Accounts with admin privilege have read/write access of all configuration parameters, whereas
accounts with user privilege only have read access to view configuration items.
NOTE
1.
In order to maintain a higher level of security, we strongly suggest that you change the password after first
loggin in.
2.
By default, there will be an “admin” user account with admin privilege and a “user” user account with user
privilege. The accounts can be deleted or disabled but at least one account with admin privilege activated
must be maintained at all times.
3.
You can create up to a maximum of 10 accounts.
The User Account settings page is divided into a top section and a bottom section. To modify the settings of
a particular account, click the username for the account in the bottom section to highlight the line associated
with the account, and then change the settings for the account in the top section of the page.
