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 a TN-5500 indicates how the switch was located (by Moxa EDS 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 TN-5500 is not password protected, and “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it.
Follow the steps given below to unlock a locked TN-5500 (i.e., an TN-5500 with Status “Locked” or “Locked
Fixed”). Highlight the server (from the Moxa switch list in the Configurator window’s left pane), and then click
the Unlock toolbar icon
, or select Unlock from the Configuration menu.
1. Enter the switch’s User Name and Password when prompted, and then click OK.
2. When the Unlock status window reports Progress as OK, click the Close button in the upper right corner
of the window.
