User Management
With this form users can be managed. The system allows up to 8 users. The users are displayed
in a table that shows the user name and a description. With the buttons below the table users
can be added, edited, deleted or cloned. When adding or editing a user a dialog shows up that
allows to edit the following parameters:
User name
User name
Description
This field allows to describe the user. The description is shown only within the
user management.
Password
The password that the user uses to authenticate. When editing a user the
password fields can be left empty in order to keep the old password.
Password must be changed at next
login
If this check box is set, the user will be forced to change his/her password on
next login.
Access rights
Here access rights for various device functions can be granted. Often the are
two check boxes, one for the right to show data and one for the right to modify
data. The access rights are grouped. At the top of each group there are check
boxes that can be used to grant or revoke all access rights in the group.
Further on in the user management form the password policy can be configured. It determines
the minimum length of passwords and the types of characters that passwords must contain.
Additionally a blacklist can be defined. Passwords on the blacklist must not be used. The list
contains one password per line.
System Time
Through this site you can adjust several settings concerning the system time.
In the first section you can define the interval (in minutes) in which the system clock will be
synchronised through SNTP or with the real-time clock.
SNTP Client
In this section you can enable and configure the SNTP client. If you enable it, the given time
servers will be contacted to determine the current time and date. Then the system clock will be
updated accordingly. You can specify up to four time servers, which will be queried one after the
other until one of them answers. The server names can be given either as host names (e.g. ntp.
company.org) or as IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.23). Note that contacting the time servers
produces data traffic.
Time Zone Settings
In this section you can enable and configure the Anybus Edge device time zone settings. If you
enable it, the Anybus Edge device will update its local time according to the time zone and
daylight saving time rules of its configured location.
Set Clock Manually
In this section you can set the system clock manually. When you click on the
Set
button, the
system clock will be set to the current time of your computer.
RTC
If your Anybus Edge features a real-time clock (RTC), it will be automatically used without any
configuration.
