System Access - Cisco UC320W Administration Manual

System Access

Use the Configuration > Site > System Access page to
update the administrator username and password.
Optionally, enable access to this utility from the WAN
and the wireless network.
Note: The configuration utility allows only one session
at a time.
Administrative User
Change administrator username/password: Click
this button to change the administrator username and
password. Then enter the following information:
• Admin Username: Enter a username for the
system administrator. The first character must
be a letter. The following characters are valid:
A-Z a-z 0-9 !*_.( ) Neither cisco nor admin is allowed in any form.
• Password: Enter a password for the system administrator. The password must begin with a letter
and is case sensitive. The following characters are valid: A-Z a-z 0-9 $-+!*_.( ) Neither cisco nor
admin is allowed in any form. As you enter your password, a message indicates its relative
strength: Very Strong, Strong, Good, or Weak. See the guidelines for a strong password below.
• Use at least 8 characters.
• Include numbers, symbols, and both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Do not enter a password that is the same as the username.
• Avoid repeated characters, such as xxxYYY2222.
• Avoid consecutive numbers, such as 123, and consecutive letters, such as abc.
• Avoid variations on the word Cisco, such as c1sc0 or ci$co.
• Confirm Password: Enter the same password again, for confirmation. The passwords must
match.
Changes in the username and password take effect after you click OK.
Remote Access
• Enable remote management of the Cisco UC320W via HTTPS: Check this box to allow access
to the configuration utility from the WAN side of the Cisco UC320W. After enabling this option,
you can access the configuration utility from the WAN by entering the Cisco UC320W WAN IP
address and the port number, as shown in the following example: https://WAN_ipaddress:8080.
Keep the default port number shown, or enter another port number. As shown in the example, a
port number is required when entering the address.
Notes:
• Click the pencil icon to edit the port number.
• This setting is available only when Enable remote management of the Cisco UC320W via
HTTPS is checked.
• Do not set the port number to 443. Because this port is used by SSL and HTTPS, web browsers
tend to remove it from a URL when entered. However, the UC320W Configuration Utility
requires a port number to be specified.
• A remote management session is disconnected after a long idle time.
• If the Cisco UC320W is located behind another router, you may need to configure port forwarding
on that router to allow traffic from the WAN to the Cisco UC320W.
• Enable wireless management of the Cisco UC320W: Check this box to allow access to the
configuration utility from a computer that is connected to the wireless network. Be aware of
security issues when submitting passwords wirelessly. Do not use a wireless connection to
upgrade the firmware or to back up the configuration.
