IF2 Network Reader User Manual
Set Up Logins
To ensure login security for configuring or maintaining the IF2, you
should use a password server or at least change the default user name
and password.
A password server is typically an embedded authentication server
(EAS) or other RADIUS server. To use a password server, you must
have a password server on the network that contains the user
name/password database. On the IF2, you need to enable RADIUS
for login authorization.
When you attempt to log in to the IF2, you must enter a user name
and password. This login is sent to the RADIUS server, which
compares the login to its list of authorized logins. If a match is
found, you can log in to the IF2 with read/write privileges.
For help, see the next section, “Configuring the IF2 to Use a
Password Server.”
