Setting Passwords and Security Options
You can enter or change the administrator and meeting passwords as well as
specify whether to allow remote access to the system.
To set passwords and security options:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Security.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
Admin Password Enter or change the Admin password.
When the Admin password is set, you must enter this password
to:
• Make configuration changes not in the User Settings screen.
• Update the software.
• Manage the system using the V500 web interface.
Meeting Password Enter or change the meeting password, if any.
Allow Access to
User Settings
Specifies whether the User Settings screen is accessible to users
via the System screen.
Uncheck this option if you do not want users to change
environmental settings.
AES Encryption Specifies whether to encrypt calls with other sites that support
AES encryption.
Enable Remote
Access
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by:
• FTP
• Web
• Telnet
• SNMP
You may select any of these, or any combination of them.
Note: The system reboots if you change the remote access
settings.
Web Access Port Specifies the port to use when accessing the system using the
V500 web interface.
If you change this from the default (port 80), you will need to
include the port number with the IP address when you use the
V500 web interface to access the system. This makes
unauthorized access more difficult.
Allow Video Display
on Web
Specifies whether to allow administrators who use the V500 web
interface to view the room where the system is located.
