Viewing and Configuring Appliance Parameters
The Settings tab allows you to display an expandable list of categories covering
a wide range of parameters for your appliance. When a category is selected
from the list, the parameters associated with the category will first be read
from the unit, the local database or both. You will then be able to modify those
parameters and send the changes securely back to the appliance.
Changing global network and session parameters
The Global category allows you to view the product type, part and serial number
and language setting for the appliance. If you select the Network sub- category,
you will be able to change the network settings including the IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, LAN speed and BootP setting. If you select the Sessions sub-
category, you can enable the session time-out to allow the appliance to close an
inactive video session after a specified number of minutes.
Setting up user accounts
When you select the Users category for the first time, the AMP will retrieve and
display a list of usernames and current access levels from the appliance. You
can add, modify or delete users in this listing. You can assign three access
levels: User, User Administrator and Appliance Administrator. The User
Access level allows you to assign individual server access rights to a user.
Users can become locked out by the Security Lock-out feature if they try to
enter an invalid password five consecutive times. You can configure Security
Lock-out settings as well as unlock any user through the Users category.
