Using the Ethernet Adapter Manager

6)To activate the parameters, click on the Update and Reset Unit button.

NOTE

If the PC card in the active Ethernet Adapter is different than the PC card that was in the Ethernet Adapter when the configuration parameters were saved, all parameters but the PC card options are loaded from the file. You will need to set the new PC card parameters manually. This procedure allows you to change your PC card while keeping your network and serial settings. You can save a new version of the configuration file so that future loads will include the PC card parameter settings.

Setting and Removing Passwords

Setting a password prevents unauthorized users from accessing or changing the settings on your Ethernet Adapter. You will need to enter this password each time you want to reconfigure the Ethernet Adapter. Enterasys Networks recommends that you set a password for each Ethernet Adapter.

Setting a Password

To set a password, perform the following steps:

1)Go to the Configuration window (Figure 4-1).

2)Click on the File menu and select Set New Password.

3)Enter the password twice.

4)Click on Update Password Now.

The new password is immediately active.

Removing a Password

To remove a password, perform the following steps:

1)Go to the Configuration window (Figure 4-1).

2)Click on the File menu and select Set New Password.

3)Clear the password fields.

Leaving the password fields empty removes the password. You are not prompted for a password when the fields are empty.
