Admin User Default Password Change
With software versions later than 7.3.100, a user is required to change the default user
passwords in the IntelliLink Setup Software before it will allow the user to access the
control and read or modify settings on the control using the IntelliLink software. This
is required for all user accounts, including the Admin account, which must be changed
first before any user can access a control. See Figure 101.
Non-Admin User Default Password Change
If users attempt to log in with one of the non-admin accounts before the default password
is changed, they will be notified via the following message the Admin user must change
the default user account password before being allowed to connect to a control.
See Figure 102.
