are xed for the admin account, the only change possible for this account is the
password.

User Name
All user names must consist of lower case characters or numbers only. No
symbols or upper case characters are permissible. The user name can be
between 1 and 16 characters in length.
Password
Passwords are case sensitive and can include certain keyboard symbols. The
password can be between 1 and 16 characters in length. It is important to note,
however, that the password background remains shaded in amber until the
AdderLink IP considers your entered password to be cryptographically strong.
This is best achieved using a mixture of more than six letters and numerals.
Local
When ticked, the selected user can gain access using the local KVM console
directly connected to the AdderLink IP.
Modem
When ticked, the selected user can gain access via a modem or ISDN link
(requires external modem/ISDN equipment to be connected to the AdderLink).
Remote
When ticked, the selected user can gain access via an IP network link, such as
a local intranet or the wider Internet (depending on how the AdderLink IP is
connected).
Power
When ticked, the selected user will be permitted to control the power input to
host systems (requires optional power control switch unit(s) to be tted).
