Basic Configuration

Command Set

4 - Basic Configuration

Certain parameters must be conÞgured before the MSS can function in the network. EZWebCon is the recommended way to communicate with and conÞgure the MSS. This chapter shows an additional method of conÞguration: the command line interface and MSS command set.

NOTE: Instructions for using EZWebCon are included on the distribution CD-ROM. EZWebCon also has on-line help to assist you with configuration.

4.1 Command Set

The command line interface allows users to enter commands at the Local> prompt to conÞgure, monitor, and use the server. This chapter covers many of the MSS commands. The full command set is discussed in detail in the Commands chapter of the MSS Reference Manual on the CD-ROM.

NOTE: To return to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button while cycling power on the unit, or enter the Initialize Factory command at the Local> prompt.

4.2 System Passwords

There are two important passwords for the MSS: the privileged password and the login password. These passwords have default settings and are discussed in the following sections.

NOTE: Default passwords may pose a security risk and should be changed as soon as possible. This is especially true of the privileged password.

4.2.1 Privileged Password

Only the privileged user can change server or port settings. To become the privileged user, enter the following command. The default privileged password is system.
