4: Configuration
Certain parameters must be configured before the MSS can function in the network.
Although many users will prefer to use either the web browser interface or the EZWebCon
graphical user interface, this chapter explains how to configure the MSS via the command
line interface.
Note:
Instructions for using EZWebCon are included on the distribution CD-
ROM. EZWebCon has on-line help to assist you with configuration.
The command line interface allows you to enter commands at the Local> prompt to
configure, monitor, and use the MSS. This chapter covers important MSS functionality,
such as:
◆
◆
Protocol Configuration for TCP/IP, NetWare, and LAT protocols on page 4-2
◆
Serial Port Configuration on page 4-7
Note:
To return to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button while
cycling power on the unit, or enter the Initialize Factory command at
the Local> prompt. Keep in mind that doing so will remove all custom
configurations.
The full command set is discussed in detail in the Device Server Reference Manual.
4.1 Passwords
There are two types of passwords on the MSS: privileged and login.
◆
You must enter the privileged password to change most settings. The default
privileged password is system. To change it, enter the Change Privpass command.
◆
When the login password is enabled, users must enter the login password to connect
to the MSS. The default login password is access. To change it, enter the Change
Loginpass command.
The login password is disabled by default. To enable the login password:
❍
If you are connecting from a network to the MSS, enter the Change Incoming
[Password] command at the Local> prompt.
❍
If you are connecting from the serial port to the MSS, enter the Change
Password Protect command at the Local> prompt.
