Quatech SDS User’s Manual Configuring the SDS using a Web interface
Performing administrative functions
The Admin functions let you update the software, assign a descriptive
name to the SDS, and manage users (control who can access the SDS
from the Web interface). You can access these functions by selecting
Admin from the selection bar.
Managing users
Initially, the SDS is configured to have no exclusive users. This
means that anyone with the device drivers installed and who knows
the SDS’ IP address can use the Web interface to configure and
manage the SDS.
Note: You can create a
maximum of ten users for each
SDS.
You can create users to restrict this type of access to approved
personnel only. Once you create a user, only someone using that user
ID and password has Web access to the SDS.
