ATTENTION

MRV Communications recommends that you change the default password for the user’s MRV LX terminal server before you put the unit on a network. For more information, refer to Changing the password defaults on page 40.

Use the following procedure to access the command line interface port from a dumb terminal attached to an LX Series serial port, which is set for access local or dynamic:

aHit the return key several times to autobaud (if autobaud is enabled) the port and get the login prompt.

bEnter your login name. The default is InReach.

cEnter your password. The default is access.

Procedure 7 Changing the password defaults

At the management pc,

1The default password for the MRV LX terminal server user is access. If an unauthorized user knew this username/password combination, that user could log on to your unit. For this reason, you should change the user’s password to something other than access.

The default Superuser password is system. To reduce the risk of an unauthorized user gaining access to the Superuser Command Mode, MRV recommends that you change this password to something other than system.

To change the user-level password, access the Configuration Command Mode.

2Access the Subscriber Command Mode for the subscriber by entering the subscriber command with InReach as the command argument; for example: Config:0 >>subscriber

InReach

3Enter the password command at the Subs_InReach >> prompt.
