System Administration
System administration tasks define how each device behaves on your network. Although you may change
device passwords regularly, other system administration tasks are usually needed only when installing the
equipment.
The tasks in this chapter must be done separately on each device.
Administrative tasks are on these pages of the web interface, shown in the lower portion of the left
navigation panel:
n
Networking – Network configuration, time zone and NTP server
n
Security – Passwords, guest access, other IT security-related settings
n
Room Labels – Helpful information to display in the web interface
These pages are the same for virtually all Vaddio products.
Setting Passwords and Access
S
ECURITY PAGE
The Account Passwords and Web Server areas of the Security page provide basic security for the web
interface:
n
Admin password
– Required for access to the admin pages of the web interface and for Telnet access
to the device.
n
User password
– When set, allows password-protected, non-administrative access to the operator’s
web interface.
n
Guest access
– When enabled, allows non-administrative access to the operator’s web interface
without a password.
n
Expire idle sessions
– By default, the web interface automatically logs you out after 30 minutes of
inactivity.
Caution
Be sure you have a way to remember passwords after changing them. If you are not using the Vaddio
Deployment Tool to manage the EasyIP devices, there is no way to reset a forgotten password on the
EasyIP 10 camera. In this situation, you may need to return the camera to the factory.
