First access to VisualServer 

When connecting to VisualServer for the first time, administrators should check security and network 

settings on the configuration page. For complete protection from illegal usage, VisualServer provides two 

privileges and always needs user name and password before access. The standard level is the USER mode 

that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access VisualServer except for system 

configuration. The twenty user profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is 

ROOT mode that only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration 

and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to “root”. 

     

When connecting to VisualServer, users will be requested for user name and password by an 

authentication message window. A root password, identical to the VisualServer's serial number, is needed 

for the initial access to a newly installed VisualServer. The administrator must change the root password 

immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password should be well 

memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing the password, the browser will 

display an authentication window again to ask for the new password. 

 

The other important part is network settings. The software configuration above makes VisualServer easily 

accessed through local networks. However administrators should review the network settings on the 

configuration page according to the existing service. The safe and easy way is to compare the network 

settings with another PC or workstation in the same network. 

 

The software installation in the previous section only set the host IP address and default subnet mask as 

255.255.255.0. Administrators should change the subnet mask if it differs from the one provided by server. 

Administrators should also fill in the default gateway, primary and secondary domain name servers if 

necessary. 

 

By default VisualServer will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If the network settings 

are sure to work all the time, disable the install option if this IP address is already reserved for this 

VisualServer. Clearing this option will skip the installation procedure during the next power-up and use
