Black Box 1101, Secure Device Servers, 1102 manual Administrator Password

1101 and 1102 Secure Device Servers

You will be prompted to log in. Enter the default administration username and administration password:

Username: root

Password: default

Figure 4-2. Login screen.

NOTE: Console servers are factory configured with HTTPS access enabled and HTTP access disabled.

Figure 4-3. Management console welcome screen.

A Welcome screen, which lists four initial installation configuration steps, will be displayed:

1.Change the default administration password on the System/Administration page (Chapter 4).

2.Configure the local network settings on the System/IP page (Chapter 4).

3.Configure port settings and enable them on the Serial & Network/Serial Port page (Chapter 5).

4.Configure users with access to serial ports on the Serial & Network/Users page (Chapter 4).

After completing each of the above steps, you can return to the configuration list by clicking in the top left corner of the screen on the Black Box logo.

NOTE: If you are not able to connect to the Management Console at 192.168.0.1 or if the default Username/Password were not accepted, then reset your console server (refer to Chapter 11).

4.2Administrator Password

For security reasons, only the administrator user named root can initially log into your console server. Only people who know the root password can access and reconfigure the console server itself. However, anyone who correctly guesses the root password could gain access (and the default root password is default). To avoid this, enter and confirm a new root password before giving the console server any access to, or control of, your computers and network appliances.

NOTE: We recommend that you set up a new Administrator user as soon as convenient and log in as this new user for all ongoing administration functions (rather than root). This Administrator can be configured in the admin group with full access privileges through the Serial & Network: Users & Groups menu as detailed in Chapter 5.
