The serial port allows you to configure and access the SG200 using a serial cable. This can pose a
security risk, because anyone with access to the appliance can reconfigure the SG200 settings. This
optional step allows you to set a password on the serial console setup, allowing only authorized
personnel the ability to reconfigure the appliance.

WARNING!
If you set the serial console password and then lose the password, you must restore the
appliance to its original factory defaults to access the Management Console or CLI (see
Resetting the SG200 to Its Factory Defaults
on page 46).
