MAX Admin Menu

MAX Admin Menu

Overview

MAX servers utilize a built-in interface called the MAX Admin Menu that allows access to various administrative functions for the MAX server. To access the MAX Admin Menu, you must establish a telnet session with the server.

There are two ways to access the MAX Admin Menu - either via the Server Configuration option in WinMAX, or by connecting directly to the MAX server.

If you use the Server Configuration option in WinMAX, you will be prompted for a User

Name and Password. These are case sensitive, and by default:

User Name = root

Password = mozart

If you have connected directly to the MAX server, you will not be prompted for a User Name or Password.

Accessing the Admin Menu via WinMAX

If there is already a PC running the WinMAX software application connected to the same LAN as the MAX server, you can use WinMAX to establish a telnet connection to the server and access the MAX Admin Menu (FIG. 13):

WinMAX - System Information tab

MAX Server Configuration (telnet) window with MAX Admin Menu
