Security

Web Page (HTTP/HTTPS)

Access to the web management of the system is enabled on HTTp and HTTpS as default. HTTp access can be
disabled from Configuration -> System Configuration -> NetworkServices -> General Settings -> HTTP Mode
and set it to Off.

Default user account

The video system is delivered with a default user account with full credentials. The user name is
admin, and initially, no password is set for the default user.
We strongly recommend that you set a password for the admin user, and to any other user with similar
credentials, to restrict access to system configurations.
Make sure to keep a copy of the password in a safe place. You have to factory reset the unit if you
have forgotten the password.

Root user account

The root user account is disabled by default in TC6 and should not be enabled unless you are instructed
to do so by support. For details on checking the status of root account, disabling and enabling it please
see"Appendix B – Gaining root access to your system" on page 33.
Menus – restricting access to configuration changes
To restrict access to the available menus, you can set a menu password on the system. This affects
the on-screen menus for remote control users and the Touch interface for those using a Touch panel.
Currently this is only possible from the command line. SSH to the system. log in as admin and enter
the command:
xCommand SystemUnit MenuPassword Set Password: "ABC"
Where ABC is the password that must be entered in order to be able to access the configuration
settings on the GUi interfaces.
Once enabled you will be asked for this password to access the configuration areas of the interface.

The new user will have access to the configuration page, but will not have the ability to save any changes
to the configuration.
