Remote Access
Remote access means using a RealPresence Group system in some way other than through the local
interface, such as by using the web, a serial port, or telnet. A session is an instance of a user connected to
the system through one of these interfaces. Sessions include an indication of how you are logged on to the
RealPresence Group system, such as the local interface, web interface, telnet, or serial API.
To configure remote access settings:
1
Do one of the following:
In the local interface, go to Settings > Administration > Security > Remote Access.
In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Security > Global Security > Access.
2
Configure the following settings. Not all settings are available on both interfaces. The visibility of
some settings is affected by the type of security profile your system uses.
User Room Password
Specifies the password for the local user account used when logging in to the
system locally.
The password cannot contain spaces or more than 40 characters.
Passwords are case sensitive.
User Remote Access Password
Specifies the password for the local user account used when logging in to the
system remotely.
The password cannot contain spaces or more than 40 characters.
Passwords are case sensitive.
Note: Enabling Maximum Security Profile requires new ID values
When you configure the RealPresence Group system to use the Maximum Security Profile, the
system forces you to change the following settings from their default values:
•

User account User Id
