Our customers can additionally use RADIUS to manage their login privileges. With the
RADIUS feature active, the usernames and password verification on the local IMACS is

You may want to change your system access passwords frequently, in order to maintain
optimum security on your network. The recommended passwords are a minimum of 6 and no

and lowercase letters to provide more possible passwords.
