What if I forget the ICC password?
For your security, a password is REQUIRED to log onto the AIR-104/204. If you forget
the ICC password, the only way to recover is to clear the entire configuration manually
and return the unit to its original state as shipped from the factory. Unfortunately, this will
also result in the loss of your entire configuration database; all settings will need to be re-
entered. To clear the configuration manually and restore the password to the default,
follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect a PC to the
CONSOLE
port of the AIR-104/204. The procedure is
outlined in
Chapter 2
.
Step 2
Run the terminal emulation software (e.g. HyperTerminal) on the console PC.
See
Chapter 7
for details on the proper settings for the terminal software.
Step 3
Toggle the power switch on the rear panel of the AIR-104/204 to
off
, and then
toggle it back it
on
again. In the console PC’s terminal window, the message
“Loading firmware...” will be displayed.
Step 4
When the "Ready" message is displayed in the console PC’s terminal
window,
immediately
(within one second) press Control-C on the console
PC’s keyboard.
Step 5
The AIR-104/204 will undergo a system reset. After the system reset has
been completed, all settings stored in the AIR-104/204 will return to the
factory defaults. In particular, the ICC password once again will become
“
password
”.
Note:
Keep in mind that anyone can perform this procedure and seriously
compromise security in your network. Make sure physical access to the AIR-104/
204 is consistent with your security requirements.
How to upgrade the AIR-104/204 software
Periodically, you may need to upgrade the AIR-104/204’s firmware (
firmware
is the
software that controls the AIR-104/204’s operations). Normally, this is done when you
discover a problem that is resolved in a newer version of the firmware, or when Acer
produces an updated version of the firmware which includes new features that you need.
Otherwise, if you are happy with your current situation, you may not want to upgrade
even if a new version is available. Please check the Acer Netxus website for information
about the latest firmware upgrades (the software can be downloaded directly from the
website):

The upgrade procedure follows:
Step 1
Using a web browser, connect to the Internet and acess the Acer Netxus
website at:
www.acernetxus.com.tw
Following the directions on the website, download the desired version of the
software and install it in your local PC environment.
Step 2
Log onto the ICC. Find the
System Tools
heading on the
ICC Menu
, and click
on System Upgrade. The
System Upgrade
screen appears in the main
window of the ICC browser screen.
