Using Telnet
When establishing a
telnet
connection with your Meridian II, logging in directly as root is not per-
mitted. This is a security measure that makes it slightly more difficult to gain access by simply trying
passwords, since it is also necessary to know the name of a user. When you initiate a
telnet
session
with the Meridian II, this banner will be displayed:
********************************************************************************
* Welcome to Meridian II GPS telnet console on: host.your.domain
********************************************************************************
host login:
Here you may log in as “sysuser” with password “Praecis”. When logged in as “sysuser”, you may
check status information and view log files but you will not be able to modify any system settings or
view secure files. After correctly entering the password at this prompt,
Password:
the sign on message is shown. It identifies the host system as Meridian II GPS and shows the soft-
ware part number, version and build date:
Meridian II GPS 6010-0067-000 v 1.00 Sat Jan 19 14:17:44 UTC 2013
Meridian II GPS (root@Meridian II:~)->
This last line is the standard Meridian II prompt. After configuring the unit, you should change the
passwords using the Linux
passwd
command issued from the prompt.
To gain root access, you must now issue the “super user” command at the prompt:
Meridian II GPS(root@Meridian II:~)-> su root
You will then be prompted for the password, which is “endrun_1”, and be granted root access to the
system. To leave “super user” mode, issue the command
exit
. Issuing
exit
again will close the
telnet
session.
Using SSH
When establishing a
ssh
connection with your Meridian II, logging in directly as root is permitted.
When you log in as root via a
ssh
session with the Meridian II, this banner will be displayed:
