User accounts
This page allows you to manage up to sixteen separate accounts. 
The first of the sixteen accounts is the admin account and is the only account 
with access rights to the configuration menus. The user name and access rights 
are fixed for the admin account, the only change possible for this account is the 
password.
There are fifteen user account positions.

access tick box positions will become editable).
2  Optionally enter a password for the user account.
3  Tick/untick the Local, Remote and Power options that are appropriate to the 
user.
4  Click the Save button to register your changes. 
User Name     
All user names must consist of lower case characters or numbers only. No 
symbols or upper case characters are permissible. The user name can be 
between 1 and 16 characters in length.
Password
Passwords are case sensitive and can include certain keyboard symbols. The 
password can be between 1 and 16 characters in length. It is important to note, 
however, that the password background remains shaded in amber while the 
AdderView CATxIP 5000 considers your entered password to be too easy to 
guess. A suitable password is best constructed using a mixture of more than 6 
letters, numbers and punctuation characters.
