7.1 How to manage access to the PolaRx5S
You can manage the access that users have to the PolaRx5S in the ‘ User Administration ’
window of the ‘ Admin ’ menu.
By default, the web interface, FTP and communication ports are all assigned User-level
access as shown in Figure 7-1.
‘ User ’ level allows full control of the receiver while ‘ Viewer ’ level
only allows viewing the con fi guration. The File Transfer is by default at the âĂ Ź ViewerâĂ Ź
level such that anonymous FTP users can only read fi les.

I n the example shown in Figure 7-2:
Web Interface: Anonymous users (without password) can connect to the receiver via the
web interface as Viewers. They can browse the various windows but cannot change any of
the settings. Only George, who has User access, can change receiver settings via the web
interface.
FTP: Anonymous users have full access over FTP so can download and delete logged data
fi les.
IP, COM and USB Ports: Only George has User access to the I P, COM and USB ports so can
change receiver settings over these connections. Mildred has only viewer access to the I P,
COM and USB ports so can only send commands to show the con fi guration. Anonymous
users can neither change or view the receiver con fi guration over these connections.
