Messages on the Front Panel
When the appliance is powered up, it executes a series of self tests. It then displays a series of messages, including
"Booting... Configuring... Validating... Extracting... Formatting..." etc.
When the startup process is complete, the appliance displays a repeating series of normal operating messages.
The first line of the display shows the appliance name which can be entered from the web interface during configuration
(on the
Microsoft Networking Settings page
). If the name is not entered in the web interface, the default name, based on
the device's MAC address, is displayed.
The second line of the display shows date, time, IP address, and firmware version in a repeating sequence.

Setting or Changing the Front Panel Password
There are two types of passwords that can be set for the appliance: a front panel password (one per appliance) and an
administrator password
(can be multiple accounts, but there must be at least one), which enables access to the web
interface to manage the appliance. The front panel password is discussed in this section.
There is no front panel password until it is set. This password limits access to front panel functions. A password will
prevent unauthorized configuration changes. After the front panel password is set, it must be entered before future
configuration tasks can be performed at the front panel display.
