Initial APWeb Setup by Network Admin

APWeb Instruction Manual
Setting Admin & User Account Logins
For security purposes, we recommend that the Network Administrator set the account profiles as part of
the initial setup.
APWeb uses HTTP basic access authentication with multi-tier access (i.e., the Network Administrator
and the user accounts each have their own user name and password). Resetting the account profiles (see
page 16) requires physical access to the system. If further security is required, we recommend locking
the module (or enclosure with expansion board) in a secure location. User names and passwords are sent
in clear text over the network, thus leaving them vulnerable to network sniffers. We also recommend
deploying APWeb in a secure LAN environment. To allow remote Internet access, you will need to
configure your LAN firewall.
APWeb boards (modules and expansion boards) are configured at the factory with a default login for the
Network Administrator and another one for the user. APWeb’s Account Profile / Site Security page is
accessed by clicking the Authentication button on the APWeb Administration page.
Note:
System security can also be turned on and off at the Account Profile / Site Security page
(see page 15)

current user name and password instead of the defaults.
