The serial port allows you to configure and access the SG510 using a serial
cable. This can pose a security risk, because anyone with access to the
appliance can reconfigure the SG510 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 SG510 to Factory Defaults” on page 81).
