DANTE LEADER CLOCK

Access Menu

As a security method a user name and password must be entered before the configuration webpages can be 

accessed. (This is what you did to get this far!) These values can be changed as desired.
The Model 5401A’s access security method is in no way rigorous. The user name and password are sent to 

and received from the Model 5401A as plain text. They are also stored within the Model 5401A as plain text. 

There is no security method or encryption associated with these fields. Anyone “snooping” on the LAN that is 

transporting Model 5401A management data will see all values in plain text. The ability to select user name 

and password values is intended simply to provide a means of keeping “honest” users from easily changing 

the configuration of a Model 5401A. If unauthorized access is of concern then it’s recommended that the Model 

5401A’s network configuration be selected for Switched or Redundant. And then an Ethernet connection to the 

Model 5401A’s management RJ45 jack should not be present except when access by authorized personnel 

is desired.
The default user name is 

guest

 and the default password is 

guest

. These are case sensitive. If neither of the 

default entries are changed then they will display in the user name and password entry fields on the Login 

menu webpage. If the default user name and/or default password is changed then neither the user name nor 

the password will display upon accessing the Login menu webpage.

Management Log Credentials

User Name:

 In this field a revised user name can be 

entered. The user name must be a minimum of five 

characters, a maximum of 15 characters, and is case 

sensitive. All 95 of the printable ASCII characters 

can be used. These include upper and lower alpha-

betic characters, numbers, and standard punctuation 

marks.

New Password:

 In this field a revised password can 

be entered. The password must be a minimum of 

five characters, have a maximum of 15 characters, 

and is case sensitive. All 95 of the printable ASCII 

characters can be used. These include upper and 

lower alphabetic characters, numbers, and standard 

punctuation marks.

Confirm New Password: 

For a new password to be 

considered valid, enter it identically into this field.

Submit:

 The Submit button is located below the field 

for Confirm New Password. To save changes made to 

the user name and/or New password fields requires 

that the Submit button be pressed. Changes made 

will be effective upon the next attempt at logging into 

the Model 5401A. Restoring the Model 5401A to its 

default values does not change the stored user name 

and password.
