Chapter 14 NIC Security

 

Web Browser

 

1. Using a Web browser, direct the browser to URL

 

http://P5000LJIPaddress/adminConf.html

 

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/adminConf.html)

 

 

 

 

Note

If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the user ID

 

and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by

 

default.

 

 

 

 

 

2. At the “Administration Configuration” HTML form that displays, scroll

 

down to the “Passwords” section.

 

3. Click within the “Old” field beside the “Root Password” heading and enter

 

the existing root password. By default, there is no root password so you

 

can go to the next step without typing anything in this field.

 

4. Within the “Root Password” section, click within the “New” field and enter

 

the new root password.

 

5. Within the “Root Password” section, click within the “Confirm” field and

 

enter the new root password again. Remember this is case sensitive.

 

6. Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the print

 

server to make the new setting takes effect.

 

From this point on, anytime you log in to the NIC as root, you will need to

 

specify this password or your login attempt will fail.

 

To clear this password or change it, use the same “Administration

 

Configuration” HTML form. Just enter the appropriate “Old” password and put

 

in the new one (or nothing if you do not want a root password any longer). The

 

commands directly on the NIC are:

 

set user from default

 

save

 

 

 

Note

Remember your password. If you forget it, the only way to recover your

 

password is as follows:

 

1. set Dipswitch 1 on the adapter to the “on” position

 

2. power up

 

3. set Dipswitch 1 to the “off” position

 

4. power up a second time.

 

You will also have to restore all IP values.
