22.3.4 Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on CMMmicro
By using an override toggle switch on the CMMmicro circuit board, you can temporarily
override a lost or unknown IP address or password as follows:
◦ Up is the override position in which a power cycle causes the CMMmicro to boot
with the default IP address (169.254.1.1) and no password required.
◦ Down is the normal position in which a power cycle causes the CMMmicro to
boot with your operator-set IP address and password(s).
To override a lost or unknown IP address or password, perform the following steps.
Procedure 42: Using the override switch to regain access to CMMmicro
IMPORTANT!
In override mode
◦ a CMMmicro provides no power on its ports.
◦ any APs or BHs connected to the CMMmicro are not powered.
◦ you cannot gain browser access to the CMMmicro through any
connected APs or BHs.
1. Gain physical access to the inside of the CMMmicro enclosure.
2. Establish direct Ethernet connectivity to the CMMmicro (not through an AP or
BH).
3. Flip the toggle switch up (toward you).
4. Power cycle the CMMmicro.
RESULT: The module reboots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1,
password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set.
5. Set passwords as desired, or enter a blank space to set no password.
6. Change configuration values if desired.
7. Click Save Changes.
8. Flip the toggle switch down (away from you).
9. Click Reboot.

22.4 REQUIRING SM AUTHENTICATION
Through the use of Canopy Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) software and
configurable parameters, you can enhance network security by requiring SMs to
authenticate after registering. Beyond the floating license keys for BAM server(s) and
APs, three keys and a random number are involved in authentication as follows:
◦ factory-set key in each SM. Neither the subscriber nor the network operator can
view or change this key.
◦ authentication key, also known as authorization key and skey. The network
operator sets this key both in the Configuration page of the SM and in the ESN
