Disable Remote Support

By default, remote support is on. If you want to turn it off, you may use the following procedure.

Disabling remote support for the Networked VGA Grid removes the ability for Epiphan to reset a

lost admin password. If you forget the admin password and remote support feature is off, you will

need to return the system to Epiphan for reprogramming.

To disable remote support:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the Admin

Interface

.

 2. Login as admin.

 3. Select the Maintenance link in the Configuration menu; the maintenance page opens.

 4. Click Enable remote support check box to deselect it. This prevents incoming links from Epiphan.
