• Log in using the default system user name: root, and the default
password: default. A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration
steps is displayed.
• Select “Change the default administration password on the Users page”,
enter and confirm a new password for root, and click “Apply.”
• To assign your Advanced Console Server a static IP address or to
permanently enable DHCP, select “System: IP” then “Network Interface”
and check “DHCP” or “Static” for configuration method.
• By default, only HTTPS and SSH access is enabled to the Advanced
Console Server itself. Use Service Access menu on System: Services to
change this, and to change access privileges for connected serial and
network devices.
Figure 3. System: Services screen.
Note: Use the Forwarding & Networking menu on System: Firewall to permit
remote IP access to devices on Network or Management LAN.
The Advanced Console Server also has a second Ethernet network port
(Network 2) that you can configure as a management gateway/LAN port
(with firewall/router isolation and DHCP server) or as a failover/OoB access
port. By default, this port is inactive.
To activate broadband failover/OoB, refer to the user’s manual, otherwise
leave Failover Interface at its default selection, None.
To use Network 2 as the management LAN gateway:
• Select “System: IP” then “Network 2” and uncheck “Disable.”
• Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask for this segment of the
Management LAN (leaving Gateway and DNS fields blank). Refer to the
user’s manual if you want to enable the DHCP server.
