The Settings page gives you access to a list of settings and configuration options to help you customize the Management Portal (MP). For example, you can view or update the following key settings:

  • The API Key tab allows you to retrieve your API Key.
  • The Change Machine Name tab allows you to change your Machine or Host Name.
  • The Change Password tab allows you to change and manage the Admin (Web UI) password.
  • The Date and Time Settings tab allows you to manage the date, time, and time zone settings of the device.
  • The Multi-Factor Authentication tab allows you to enable and configure the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) feature. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second verification step when a user accesses the x360Recover platform. With MFA enabled, users will be prompted to enter a one-time password generated by an authentication app when logging in to the system.
  • The Reporting Settings tab allows you to configure and customize the frequency and recipients of your reports.
  • The Update Manager tab allows you to configure and manage updates to the Management Portal.
  • The Remote Assist tab allows you to enable the Remote Assist feature, which gives Axcient Technical Support the ability to troubleshoot issues on your devices without requiring assistance from the Customer or the partner. For more information, please visit our Knowledgebase.
  • The Network Settings tab allows you to manage the Network Settings on your device.
  • The Upload New Logo tab allows you to customize your branding.
  • The Shutdown and Reboot tab allows you to shut down or reboot your device.
