MRV Communications LX-4000 Series manual System Login and Passwords, Resetting the Unit

Installing the LX-4000 Series

Once the unit finishes loading the operating system, you can access the unit. At your management station, access the unit with any terminal emulation software. The terminal settings are 9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, Xon/Xoff flow control, autowrap enabled, and terminal type ANSI. The Login: screen appears.

System Login and Passwords

The following username and passwords are the defaults the first time you use the LX-4000 Series.

•The default login username is InReach (be sure to use a capital I and R). The default login password is access.

•To enter the superuser mode at the InReach> prompt, enter enable. The default password is system.

These passwords prevent persons who do not know them from accessing the server. Change the default passwords to other values as part of your basic server setup. You can use any character or number in a password. However, backspace, tab, and escape are not supported. Refer to the “Password Enable” section in the Subscriber chapter of the LX-Series Commands Reference Guide for information on changing passwords.

IMPORTANT

Take steps to ensure that the password is not lost or forgotten. If you forget the password, call Customer Support.

Resetting the Unit

To reset the LX-4000 Series, use a paper clip to momentarily press the reset button, which is behind the small hole labeled R on the front panel. Refer to Figure 14 for the exact location.

When the LX-4000 Series enters the RESET state, all front panel LEDs illuminate. When you release the reset button, the unit begins to execute the Power On Self Test (POST).

If the LX-4000 Series detects an error, the front panel LEDs illuminate to show an error code. This error sequence is repeated continually until the error is corrected or you power off the unit. During this time, no data is exchanged over the Ethernet cable or serial ports.

If the LX-4000 Series does not detect an error, the unit begins loading software from the internal flash. Once loaded, the LX-4000 Series resumes normal operations.
