Chapter 3
Super Administrator Setup
Overview
This chapter discusses the administrative procedures that the Super
Administrator performs to get the KVM Over the NET™ switch set up for the
first time.
First Time Setup
Once the KVM Over the NET™ switch has been cabled up, the Super
Administrator needs to set the unit up for user operation. This involves setting
the network parameters, and changing the default Super Administrator login.
The most convenient way to do this for the first time is from the local console.
Note: For remote methods of setting up the network, see IP Address
Determination, page 257.
After the local console has been connected (see Single Stage Installation,
page 25), and the KVM Over the NET™ switch turned on, a login prompt
appears on the console monitor:
Since this is the first time you are logging in, use the default Username:
administrator; and the default Password: password.
Note: For security purposes, you should change these to a unique Username
and Password. (See Changing the Super Administrator Login, page 42
for details.)
