Chapter 3
Super Administrator Setup
Overview
This chapter discusses the administrative procedures that the Super
Administrator performs to get the Serial Console Server set up for the first
time.
First Time Setup
Once the Serial Console Server has been cabled up, the Super Administrator
needs to set up the unit for operation. This involves setting the network
parameters, and changing the default Super Administrator login. The most
convenient way to do this for the first time is from a local console (local VT
console or a local computer running terminal application software, such as
Microsoft HyperTerminal), or a Laptop USB Console (LUC) running the
SNViewerUSB application (SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO /
SN0148CO only). Setup can also be done remotely over the Web via the GUI
using the unit’s IP address.
Note: For remote methods of setting up the network, see

Local Login
You can log in locally from a computer or laptop (SN0108CO / SN0116CO /
SN0132CO / SN0148CO only) connected directly to the Serial Console Server
(see
Serial Console Server Installation
, page 27). There are two methods for
logging in locally
SNViewerUSB
