Initial Device Set-Up and Access
When any Vaddio product is shipped from the factory, there is no admin password and the administrative controls
are not available. For units using version 2.2.0 or later firmware, this is also true if you restore factory defaults,
which returns the device to a "like new" state. You must set the admin password using the web interface.
Functions Enabled after Initial Device Set-Up
Until the admin password is set and any other initial tasks are completed, the control and administrative interfaces
are not available.
•
You will not be able to open a Telnet session to this product until you set the password using the web
interface.
•
You will not be able to open a session over the RS-232 connection until you set the admin password using
the web interface.
•
You will need to set the admin password again if you restore factory defaults.
Initial device set-up includes setting the admin password, and may include additional tasks. After initial device set-
up is complete, you will also need to complete system administration tasks in the web interface to define how the
device behaves as an element of your network.
Initial Access to the Web Interface
Enter http:// followed by the device's IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar.
The first time the product’s web interface is accessed, it presents a dialog box to set the password. This page
warns that the connection is not secure because the device does not support HTTPS.
You will also encounter this page after restoring factory defaults. After you complete the initial set-up, you will be
able to work with the product.
Create and confirm the admin password, and complete any other required tasks such as accepting agreements.
Then select Submit. The main administrative web interface opens.
