Unlock Server

The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected Switch so that the user can modify its configuration, import/export a configuration, etc. To begin with, we point out that there are six possible responses under the Status column. The Status of a MOXA EtherDevice Switch indicates how the switch was located (by MOXA EtherDevice Switch Configurator), and what type of password protection it has.

The six options are as follows (note that the term Fixed is borrowed from the standard fixed IP address networking terminology):

!Locked

The Switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password has not yet been entered from within the current Configurator session.

!Unlocked

The Switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password has been entered from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth during this Configurator session, activating various utilities for this Switch will not require re-entering the server password.

!Blank

EDS is not password protected, and “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it.
