MSS User Guide | 3: Getting Started |
Remote Console Logins
The MSS enables users to configure the device server via a single Telnet connection to the remote console port, designated as port 7000. Connections to the console port cannot be disabled. This ensures that administrators will always be able to log into the port.
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by the MSS IP address and the remote console port number. You will have to enter the login password. The default login password is access.

Changing the Login Password
The login password is required for remote console logins and when the MSS password protection feature is enabled. The default login password is access. To specify a new login password, use the Change Loginpass command and specify a new password of up to six alphabetic characters.
