Protecting the Security Options screen

The first screen you should protect is the Security Options screen,
because it controls access to the configuration screens. Access to
the Security Options screen can be protected with a password.

Select Password To Visit This Screen in the Security Options
screen and enter a password. Make sure this password is secure
and is different from any of the user account passwords.

Protecting the configuration screens

You can protect the configuration screens with user accounts. You
can administer the accounts from the Security Options screen.

A single user account allows access to the Easy Setup, Advanced
Configuration, and Statistics, Utilities, Tests screens. You can
create up to four accounts.

To display a view-only list of user accounts, select Show Users in
the Security Options screen.
