Control Console
How To Log On
Overview
You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection
with a computer on the same network (LAN) as the Management Card to access the
control console. For an AP9618 Network Management Card, you can also use its
internal analog modem to access the control console.
Use case-sensitive user name and password entries to log on (by default, apc and apc
for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User). A Read-Only User has no
access to the control console.
Remote access to the control console
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH). Telnet is
enabled by default. Enabling SSH disables Telnet.
To enable or disable these access methods:
• In the Web interface, on the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu
bar, and then the access option under Console on the left navigation menu.
• In the control console, use the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user
name and password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption.
See Dial-in access (AP9618 Management Card only).

from a Lost Password.
