Setting Up Users

When you have a user who is accessing a device connected to a serial port from the network or who 
is accessing the network from a device connected to a serial port through the IOLAN, you can create 
a user account and configure the user’s access privileges. Notice that there is a Default user; the 
Default user’s parameters are inherited by users logging into the IOLAN who are being authenticated 
by an external authentication method (see 

 for more information) or are accessing the 

IOLAN as a Guest (see 

 for more information).

To add a user account, click on the 

 page in the navigation pane.

Click the 

 button to create a user account. 

To quickly add a user, fill out the field in the 

 tab and click

See 

 for more information about the other user parameters you can 

configure.
