Password and Encryption Control
The Setup web pages, the CLI (command line interface) and the FTP server all require a password to
prevent unauthorized users from changing a unit’s configuration. At the time of manufacture, the
password is set to “ADMINISTRATOR”
(all uppercase)
but Dataradio strongly suggests that the
password be changed as units are installed.

Old Password

(all upper case
letters)
. For subsequent access, use the Password that you will have configured.

Encryption
Pass Phrase
String of characters used to create a 128-bit AES encryption key. The Pass Phrase can
be up to 160 characters long. Using a length of at least 128 characters should provide
an adequate security level for most users.
A good pass phrase mixes alphabetic and numeric characters, and avoids simple
prose and simple names.
Encryption
Key
All units in a network must have the same key.
