vNet User’s Guide

17

and must be 4 to 16 characters long. The default administrator 
password is 

dbps

.

Note:

The administrator name, 

root

, cannot be changed. 

To change the administrator password:

1

From the vNet Configuration and Management interface, 
choose 

Configuration | Security

.

2

In the Security Settings screen, enter and confirm your new 
administrator password.

3

Click 

Apply

. When prompted, click the 

here

 link to restart the 

vNet Device.
The new password takes effect after the restart completes. 

Session Timeout Period

In addition to passwords, another security feature you can apply 
is a timeout period for the web interface session. The timeout 
period specifies when the session will automatically close, 
protecting you from others altering your vNet Device 
configuration settings if you accidentally leave the Web session 
open.
You can also specify the HTTP TCP port number used by Web 
browsers to display the vNet Device’s Web interface. In most 
circumstances you will not need to change the default HTTP TCP 
port number (80), unless port 80 is blocked.

To set the timeout period and HTTP port:

1

From the vNet Configuration and Management interface, 
choose 

Configuration | Web Interface

.

2

In the Web Interface screen, choose to either select 
(recommended) or deselect the option 

End session after 

timeout

.

3

Enter the session timeout period in minutes.

4

Enter the HTTP port you want to use (change the default, 80, 
only if it is blocked).
