2.Log in and set the password.

The login prompt appears on the terminal or PC. If the login prompt does not appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the router boots for the first time it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The account has the login name “manager” and the password is “friend”. Passwords are case sensitive.

At the log in prompt, enter the login name and password.

Login: manager

Password: friend

The router’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the router using the command line interface.

Warning Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

3.Configure the router.

See the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more information on router start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message definitions). To continue configuring the router using the CLI, use the commands in the Software Reference.

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed command to see a list of valid options.

4.Save the configuration.

Save your configuration to a new file, using the command: create config=filename.cfg

and set the router to load this file when it restarts, using the command: set config=filename.cfg

We recommend leaving the boot.cfg file unchanged, in case you need to revert to the original default configuration.
