Important: When the VNA power is switched on, it AUTOMATICALLY logs into Windows using the default user name and password. You do NOT need to log on. This gives anyone full access to the analyzer. The following steps can be taken to increase security of your VNA.
Require users to logon when the VNA computer is turned ON - Learn how.
Setup individual accounts on the VNA with varying level of access - Learn how.

The following user accounts already exist on new VNAs.
Important: For the highest security, it is recommended to change the passwords on your device from these defaults.

Note: The user name is not case sensitive. The password is case sensitive.
Note: The VNA local policies are set so that, if logon is required, you must retype the user name (and password) every time. Do not change the local policies on the VNA.
If the analyzer is in a secure environment, you can setup VNA users by name and grant various levels of access.
You can designate a person as the administrator and then configure the VNA to allow others to use it with reduced permissions. That is, other people can be signed on to use the analyzer but they will not have the ability to perform all of the administrative functions that you can as the administrator.
The following are examples of some of the functions that can be performed with these account types:
Administrator - Can download and install firmware. The administrator can modify system-wide settings in the operating system.
Standard User - Can fully use the VNA to make measurements and save state and data files. Standard Users can NOT install firmware.
