Chapter 2 Quick Setup
The quick setup of system configurations allows users to complete the basic settings of
system configurations in simple steps and within a short time. The basic settings include the
IP, Netmask, DNS server addresses, Time Zone, system time, Hostname, NetBios settings
(network neighborhood) of the NIC, as well as the applications provided by the system. After
the settings are completed, the basic configuration of the system is also completed – the
system can serve you right now without any trivial settings required.
2.1 Main Menu Setup
Log in the system by using “root” password “steptech” as an account in the host’s control
panel screen, and then a main menu initially configured by the system will immediately
appear. The screen allows users to configure initial settings before they are able to enter
the browser’s management interface to change settings, so as to facilitate subsequent
connection. In the main menu, what you have to do is set up the HOSTNAME, IP
address, Netmask and Default Router. Then, without the hassle of reboot, you can apply
these settings and enter the browser’s management interface to change other settings.
Start with setting up the IP Address of NIC for the private network here, so that you can
use a nearby browser to configure other settings afterwards.
“6. Reset Admintool password”, the sixth item of the main menu, allows you to restore
the factory default password of “steptech” when you forgot the password “sysop”.
If you had changed some system settings that resulted in the system’s abnormal
operation, select “7. Write Default & Reboot” to conduct certain configurations and
thereby have these settings restore to the factory default settings.
“8. Reboot” means restarting the computer, and “9. Shutdown” turning off the machine.
After you select shutdown, bear in mind that there is no true shutdown without turning off
the host’s power supply. Or you can restart the computer by pressing any key.
The Main Menu is shown as follows:
