8-Port Value-Line Console Server Quick Start Guide
NOTE: The network-connected computer must have an IP address in the
same network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the Value-Line Console Server. If
this is not convenient, you can use the ARP Ping command to set the IP
address (refer to the user manual for details). The Value-Line Console
Server also has its DHCP client enabled by default, so it will automatically
accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on your
network—and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Log in using the default system user name: root, and the default
password: default. A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps
is displayed.
Select “Change the default administration password on the
Users
page”,
enter and confirm a new password for root, and click “Apply.”
Figure 2. Serial & Network: User & Groups screen.
To assign your Value-Line Console Server a static IP address or to
permanently enable DHCP, select “System: IP” then “Network Interface”
and check “DHCP” or “Static” for configuration method.
By default, only HTTPS and SSH access is enabled to the Value-Line
Console Server itself. Use Service Access menu on System: Services to
change this, and to change access privileges for connected serial and
network devices.
