Instruction Manual

Administrator Password

For security reasons, only the Administrator (the administration user named root) can initially log into your gateway; only those people who know the root password can access and reconfigure the ECS0016 gate- way itself.

As such, it is important that you enter and confirm a new password before giving the ECS0016 any access to, or control of, your computers and network appliances. To do so:

1.Select System: Administration

2.Enter a new System Password then re-enter it in the field marked confirm System Password. This is the new password for root, the main administrative user account, so it is important that you choose a complex password, and keep it safe.

3.(Optional)At this stage you may also wish to enter a System Name and System Description for the ECS0016 gateway to give it a unique ID and make it simple to identify.

4.Click Apply. As you have changed the password you will be prompted to log in again. This time use the new password.
