Administrator’s Manual

6. Display system live time: The system live time (time for system being turn on) of the

Repeater is displayed.

7. Check service status: The current execution status of each service on the Repeater is

checked.

8. Set device into “safe mode”: If administrator is unable to use Web Management Interface

on the browser while Repeater unexplicitly fails. Administrator can choose this utility and

set Repeater into safe mode, then administrator can management this device with browser

again.

9. Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately check and correct the clock through the

NTP protocol and network time server. Since the Repeater does not support manual

setup for its internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock through the NTP.

4.3. Change admin password of Console interface

Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of null

modem, the Repeater also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When using a null

modem to connect to the Repeater console, we do not need to enter administrator’s password

to enter the console management interface.

When SSH is used to connect the Repeater, the username is “admin” and the default password

is also “admin”. This set is the same as those for the Web management interface. You can

use this option to change the Repeater administrator’s password. Even if you forgot the

password and are unable to login the console management interface of the Repeater from the

Web or the remote end of the SSH, you can still use the null modem to connect to the console

management interface of the Repeater and set the administrator’s password again.

Caution: Although it does not require a password for the connection via the serial port, the

same management interface can be accessed via SSH. Therefore we recommend you to
