When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time during a browser session, you will not be prompted for your username and password. You will be assumed to be the Administrator and will be automatically logged on as such, using the username root and the default password pass.

Ethernet address. The daemon downloads the IP
address to the device if a match is found.
