unsuccessful login attempts. Login information (such as how many login attempts were
made and the last successful login time) can be presented to the user.
 To prevent user access after a specific number of failed logins:
1. From the 'Deny Access On Fail Count' drop-down list, select the number of failed
logins after which the user is prevented access to the device for a user-defined time
(see next step).
2. In the 'Deny Authentication Timer' field, enter the interval (in seconds) that the user
needs to wait before a new login attempt from the same IP address can be done after
reaching the number of failed login attempts (defined in the previous step).
Notes:
• For security, it's recommended that you change the default username
and password.
• The Security Administrator user can change all attributes of all Web user
accounts. Web users with access levels other than Security Administrator
can change only their password and username.
• To restore the two Web user accounts to default settings (usernames
and passwords), set the ini file parameter ResetWebPassword to 1.
• To log in to the Web interface with a different Web user, click the Log off
button and then login with with a different username and password.
• You can set the entire Web interface to read-only (regardless of Web
user access levels), by using the ini file parameter DisableWebConfig
(see 'Web and Telnet Parameters' on page 471).
• You can define additional Web user accounts using a RADIUS server
(refer to the Product Reference Manual).
• For secured HTTP connection (HTTPS), refer to the Product Reference
Manual.
4.3.1 Basic User Accounts Configuration
This section describes basic Web user account configuration. This is relevant only if the
two default, pre-configured Web user accounts - Security Administrator ("Admin") and
Monitor ("User") - are sufficient for your management scheme.
For the Security Administrator, you can change only the username and password; not its
access level. For the Monitor user, you can change username and password as well as
access level (Administrator, Monitor, or No Access).
Notes:
• The access level of the Security Administrator cannot be modified.
• The access level of the second user account can be modified only by the
Security Administrator.
• The username and password can be a string of up to 19 characters.
When you log in to the Web interface, the username and password string
values are case-sensitive, according to your configuration.
• Up to two users can be logged in to the Web interface at the same time,
and they can be of the same user.
