Unlock Server
The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected switch so that the user can
modify its configuration, import/export a configuration, etc. There are six possible responses under
the
Status
column. The
Status
of an EDS switch indicates how the switch was located (by Moxa
EtherDevice Switch Configurator), and what type of password protection it has.
The six options are as follows (note that the term
Fixed
is borrowed from the standard
fixed IP
address
networking terminology):
y
Locked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password
has not yet been entered from within the current Configurator session.
y
Unlocked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password
has been entered from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth during this
Configurator session, activating various utilities for this switch will not require re-entering the
server password.
y

y
