Fall. Available choices for the time change are from -5 to +5 in one hour increments. Setting this to zero
will disable daylight saving time. If the value is non-zero, you have to set the starting/ending date as well;
otherwise the daylight saving function will not be activated.
3.1.4 Account Configuration
The Account Configuration page under the System menu (Figure 3-6) allows you to manage the users
who can manage the switch. Only administrators can create, modify or delete user accounts. Only one
Administrator is allowed and cannot be deleted, and up to four Guest accounts are allowed. The
administrator has full access rights to the switch, while Guests only have read-only access. Administrators
are also able to modify passwords for all accounts, while guests are only able to modify the password for
their own account on this page. The default settings for the Administrator account is “admin” for both
username and password, and for the guest is “guest” for both username and password.

3.1.5 Management Policy
The Management Policy page under the System menu (Figure 3-7) allows you to set rules for users to
access the management interface of the switch, be it web, telnet, or SNMP. You can accept or deny
access based on VID, IP address, physical port connection, and access type. There are several scenarios
for defining rules:
No rules are defined: The switch will accept all incoming connections.
Only Accept rules are defined: The switch will only accept connections defined by the Accept rules, and
will Deny all other connection attempts.
Only Deny rules are defined: The switch will accept any connections that do not defined the Deny rules.
Both Accept and Deny rules are defined: The switch will only accept connections defined by the Accept
rules and are not defined by the Deny rules, and Deny all other attempts as well.
