If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then use the default “admin” for both the user name and password. The administrator has read/write access to all configuration parameters and statistics.

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select Switch Static Configuration=>Administration Configuration=>Change Password, and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
