System Administrator Responsibilities

The System Administrator (SA) must set up the RMU for proper operation. The SA responsibilities include establishing a network address for the
RMU and establishing the Uniform Resource Locators (URL). The network address consists of an Internet Protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and
gateway IP Address. See

RMU Dialog

for information about setting the network address via the Operator Panel. After the network address has

been established, the SA should test the RMU and URL via a Web browser. Once the URL has been verified and accounts have been created, the
SA can broadcast the URL address to the potential RMU users. The SA can delete users and change any user password.
