This function is used to set usernames and passwords for the administrator and users:
1. Usernames and passwords for one administrator and four users can be set.
2. After you select the administrator field or one of the user fields, a screen that allows you to key in
the username and password appears. Usernames and passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters
long and can consist of any combination of letters and numbers (A–Z, 0–9) and some additional
keys (* ( ) + : - , ? . / space).

letters or numbers. Press [Enter] when done.
Note:
Usernames and passwords are not case sensitive. Usernames are displayed in capital letters in the OSD.
SET ACCESSIBLE
PORTS
This function enables the administrator to define user access to the computers on the installation on a
port-by-port basis. For each user, select the target port, then press the [Spacebar] to cycle through the
choices: F (full access), V (view only), or blank. Repeat until all access rights have been set, and then
press [Enter]. The default is F for all users on all ports.
Notes:
• A blank setting means no access rights are granted. The port will not show up in the user’s LIST on the main
screen.
• The administrator always has full access to all ports.
