3.0 Device Management
This section describes the steps for connecting a PC, logging in and setting unit parameters. The focus
here is on the local serial console interface, but other methods of connection are available and offer
similar capabilities. The key differences are with initial access and appearance of data.
The MCR offers several interfaces to allow device configuration and monitoring of status and
performance. These include local serial console, USB, NETCONF, HTTPS and Secure Shell (SSH) for
local and remote access via the WAN and LAN networks. The serial console, USB and SSH services
offer a command line interface (CLI). There are three user accounts/roles for management access: admin,
tech and oper. User accounts can be centrally managed with a RADIUS server. RADIUS accounts can be
mapped to one of the three user accounts/roles (See “User Management and Access Controls” on Page
165).
NOTE
The Orbit MCR device is designed for high security environments. As such, management of the
device does not support Telnet, but instead implements the more secure SSH protocol.
Configuring and managing the Orbit MCR is done by changing configuration data via the Web User
Interface (UI) or from the Command Line Interface (CLI). Either way requires two steps. The first step is
to use a user interface to add, remove, or alter a piece of configuration data. The second step is to use the
user interface to
commit the change. Multiple changes can be made prior to committing them. This two-
step process allows users to make multiple changes to the configuration and apply them in a bulk commit.
Additionally, the device can validate the bulk commit and reject it if there is an error.
The Device Man ager is a built-in software tool that works with your PC’s browser to provide an intuitive,
web-style presentation of all unit information, settings, and diagnostics. Web management uses the unit’s
Ethernet RJ-45 connector
NOTE
For security, web access can be enabled/disabled via the CLI using the command:
% set
services web http(s) enabled true/false
To connect to the unit and manage it via the Device Manager, you will need the following:

A PC with a web browser program installed.

An Ethernet cable connected between the PC and the MCR as shown in PC Connection for
Web Management.

The unit’s IP address. Check with your Network Administrator, or determine the address via a
command line interface connection. The default address for a factory supplied unit is
192.168.1.1.

The user name and password for the unit. Check with your Network Administrator, or, if a
username and password have not been set, use the factory defaults of admin for both entries.
(For security, a new password should be established as soon as possible after login.)

Use of a modern browser is highly recommended.
