Unlock Server
The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected switch so that the user can modify its
configuration, import/export a configuration, etc. There are six possible responses under the Status column.
The Status of an EDS switch indicates how the switch was located (by Moxa EtherDevice Switch Configurator),
and what type of password protection it has.
The six options are as follows (note that the term Fixed is borrowed from the standard fixed IP address
networking terminology):
• Locked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password has not yet
been entered from within the current Configurator session.
• Unlocked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password has been
entered from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth during this Configurator session,
activating various utilities for this switch will not require re-entering the server password.
• Blank
The switch is not password protected, and “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it.
Follow the steps given below to unlock a locked EDS switch (i.e., an EDS switch with Status “Locked”). Highlight
the server (from the Moxa EtherDevice Switch list in the Configurator window’s left pane), and then click on the
Unlock toolbar icon
, or select Unlock from the Configuration menu.
