MAX Admin Menu
Overview
MAX servers utilize a built-in interface called the MAX Admin Menu that allows access to various
administrative functions for the MAX server. To access the MAX Admin Menu, you must establish a
telnet session with the server.
There are two ways to access the MAX Admin Menu - either via the Server Configuration option in
WinMAX, or by connecting directly to the MAX server.
If you use the Server Configuration option in WinMAX, you will be prompted for a User
Name and Password . These are case sensitive, and by default:
User Name = root
Password = mozart
If you have connected directly to the MAX server, you will not be prompted for a User Name
or Password.
Accessing the Admin Menu via WinMAX
If there is already a PC running the WinMAX software application connected to the same LAN as the
MAX server, you can use WinMAX to establish a telnet connection to the server and access the MAX
Admin Menu (FIG. 13):
1. Launch WinMAX and open the System Information tab.
2.
Verify that a connection exists with the target MAX server.
