Next Steps for New Deployments
After initial device set-up is complete, you will also need to complete system administration tasks to define
how each device behaves as an element of your network.
Security settings – In each device's administrative web interface, you can configure product security
features to conform to the IT policies for your environment. See Setting Passwords and Access .
Network settings – Depending on the requirements of your network, you may need to change the
hostname. See Changing the Hostname . If additional network changes are required, work with the site's
network specialist to configure the Luxul switch.
Do not change network settings without guidance from an on-site network specialist.
Time zone – Set the device to the appropriate time zone to ensure that timestamps in the event log are
accurate. See Specifying Time Zone and NTP Server .
Room labels – Add helpful information such as the room location and phone number to the web interface
of each device. See Adding Room Information to the Device's Web Interface .
The system administration pages for these tasks are virtually identical for all EasyIP products.
Note
Some of the screen shots of these web interface pages are from the EasyIP Decoder and some are from
the EasyIP 10 camera.

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.
