Authentication
Because the MD-xxHD Web App can be viewed and controlled by any smart device, and communicates
in parallel to the host system, the MD-xxHD can be configured to require a PIN# to restrict access the
meter.
Enter the PIN#, if assigned, or leave blank, if unassigned, and press the LOGIN button.
Organizationally, the MD-xxHD Web App works much the same as ViewPoint HD, although it has no
analytics and operates on a single element at a time.
