First-Time Log-In Using a Console Port Connection

Note: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured with administratively-supplied user and password settings.

By default, the Matrix DFE Series device is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable parameters. The default password is set to blank (carriage return). For information on changing these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the

Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Guide.

Start the Command Line Interface (CLI) from the module’s local console port as follows:

1.Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in “Connecting to COM Port for Local Management” on page 3‐23. The startup screen, Figure 3‐18, displays.

2.At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:

–ro for Read‐Only access,

–rw for Read‐Write access, or

–admin for Super User access. (This access level allows Read‐Write access to all modifiable parameters, including user accounts.)

3.Press Enter.

4.The Password prompt displays. Leave this string blank and press Enter. The module information and Matrix prompt displays as shown in Figure 3‐18.

The DFE‐Gold module is now ready to be configured. For information about setting the IP address and configuring Telnet settings for remote access to DFE management, refer to Chapter 3 in the Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to initially set up and perform more involved management configurations.
