Chapter 2 Securing the XDQA24 System
Introducing the Security
To prevent people from gaining access to the XDQA24 system, the system is
provided with a security feature. This system security feature confirms the identity of
the users who are attempting to access the device, protects the device configuration
from inappropriate access by users, and provides a simple and efficient way to set up
and maintain the security on the device.
To configure the XDQA24 system security, user accounts should be defined. A user
account consists of a unique user name with password. By assigning access levels to
user accounts, particular access permissions and rights can be given to users. Three
access levels are defined, viz.:
Guest: read-only access
User: read-write access (without security configuration)
Administrator: full control (with security configuration)
The XDQA24 system security is provided with three pre-defined user accounts. The
table below shows these pre-defined user accounts.
Username Password Access Level
Guest Guest (Guest) read-only access
User User (User) read-write access
Administrator Administrator (Administrator) full control
Notes:
At least one user account with full control access level must be defined.
Maximum 20 user accounts can be defined.
The XDQA24 system security is default disabled. This means that the web browser
user interface of the system is opened without Logon page. When the security is
enabled the web browser user interface will be opened after entering a correct
username and password on the Logon page.
Note: When a user doesn’t access the device using the web browser user interface
within a particular time period (default 10 minutes), the user account of this user is
automatically logged off.
