6.6 Enabling password protection, changing
passwords and defining user rights
According to the factory settings, access to the recorder is not
protected. The predefined password "admin" is not enabled,
i.e. it must not be entered to make any changes to the settings.
When the recorder is connected to a network, always make
sure to enable the password protection feature and to
change the password (also see chapter 2 "Important Data
Security Notes")
1) Call up the main menu, select the menu "System" and
there, on the left side, click the submenu "Users".

3) Change the user name "admin", if desired.
4) Set the line "Password Enable" to "Enable": The user lock
will be activated after 2 minutes when no menu is displayed
and the recorder is not operated.
5) In the line "Password", enter a new password with a length
of at least 8 characters. Re-enter the password in the line
"Confirm".
Important: For remote recorder control and access via the
network, the password must consist of exactly 8 charac-
ters. It is possible to enter more characters; this password,
however, will be regarded as invalid by the software for
remote access.
6) To save the new password, click "Save". When the pass-
word has been successfully saved, a corresponding message
will appear; click "OK" to confirm.
7) To define user rights, first assign a user name and a pass-
word to each user as described above.
8) When a line for a user has been selected, the button
"Permission" will additionally appear at the bottom of
the menu. Click the button to define the user rights.
