Introduction

Login

Log in with your user name or email address and password. If you do not yet have an Avelon user account, ask your administrator to create one. New clients can set up their first user account during the activation process for their first device.

By default, users are automatically logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity. If you want to stay logged in for longer, select Stay Logged In on the login screen.

If you have forgotten your user account password, you can reset it by clicking on Forgot Password?.
