Administration
Changing the Password
Management access to the web and CLI interface on the
SMC2555W-AG is controlled through a single user name and
password. You can also gain additional access security by using
control filters. (See “Filter Control” on page 5-21.)
To protect access to the management interface, you need to
configure an Administrator’s user name and password as soon as
possible. If the user name and password are not configured, then
anyone having access to the access point may be able to
compromise access point and network security.
Note:
Pressing the Reset button on the back of the SMC2555W-AG for
more than five seconds resets the user name and password to the
factory defaults. For this reason, we recommend that you protect
the access point from physical access by unauthorized persons.

(Length: 3-16 characters, case sensitive.)

– The password for management access.
(Length: 3-16 characters, case sensitive)
