Figure 23: Setup - Passwords
Setting a Password for the FS-GUI
Access to the FS-GUI can be restricted by enabling a password. By
default, there are no passwords required to access the FS-GUI. There
are 2 access levels defi ned by 2 account names: Admin or User. The
Admin account has unrestricted access to the FS-GUI. The User ac-
count can view any FS-GUI information, but cannot make any changes
or restart the FS-GUI.
NOTE:
The current Admin password (if set) is required to
change all passwords. In other words, you must log in
with the Admin password to change a password unless
the password function is disabled.

Navigation Window

FS-GUI Screen

. See
Figure 21.

NOTE:
The FieldServer has to be restarted for any changed
settings to take effect. Also note that enabling the
DHCP client on an adapter will cause the static IP ad-
dress settings to be overruled by a DHCP server on the
network.
The FieldServer’s built in DHCP server can be enabled to establish
easy connection for Support purposes. Set the laptop or computer to
automatically obtain an IP address to use this feature. Note that the
Field Server DHCP server periodically checks for other DHCP servers
on the network and will disable itself should any other DHCP servers
exist on the network. This mode of operation is because the FieldServer
DHCP server is strictly for support purposes and does not have all of the
features of a commercial DHCP server. Setting the default gateway IP
address to your network gateway will ensure the FieldServer is reach-
able on the internet.
