The procedure below applies when configuring unmanaged devices using the embedded administration module. Similar options are available when working with managed devices under the supervision of the TSS service.

 

1)        Connect to the attendant console administration from your preferred Internet navigator and log onto the device with administration privileges ;

 

2)        From the main menu, navigate to the Account management / Users screen and select the user account created for the attendant –  i.e. John Smith ;
