2.2 Configuration Procedure
2.2.1 Account & Password Setup
Access to the local management port requires logging in with an account name and corresponding password. As
shipped from the factory, there is a single account name of “admin”. Any other accounts required may be created
after first logging in with the “admin” account.
There are two types of accounts: administrator and operator. An administrator account has access to all
configuration settings and information displays while an operator account has some limitations on what is
available to display and change. The type of account is specified when any new account is created.
Only administrators may create new accounts or delete existing accounts.
2.2.1.1 Initial logon
When the local management port is first accessed, enter “admin” as the account name and simply press ‘enter’ or
‘return’ when prompted for the password. There initially is no password and a new password must be set before
proceeding. The system will automatically prompt for a new password and will not proceed until that is done
successfully.
Note: once the password is set, there is no way to subsequently access the management functions without a
password. Set the password carefully and do not forget it. It is impossible to recover from a lost password unless
there is at least one administrative account available with a known password.
It is suggested that the ‘admin’ account never be used for day-to-day management of the system and instead be
reserved for emergency access in the event other administrative passwords are lost.
2.2.1.2 Account creation
After logging in for the first time, it is suggested that additional accounts be created immediately and that the new
accounts be used for normal day-to-day management.
A new account is created using the newaccount command and specifying an account name and account type. For
example, the following command will create a new administrative account with the name “accountname”:
> newaccount accountname admin
See the description of the newaccount command for more details. Additional account management commands
are accounts to list all accounts, delaccount for deleting accounts, and passwd for changing the password on
an existing account.
You may wish to log off the “admin” account and use the new account for any additional configuration.
2.2.2 Radio Configuration
A configuration summary with all of the important configuration settings for the radio and the data interface may
be displayed with the config command.
2.2.2.1 Dash Setting
The modems come in two configurations known as “dash one” and “dash two.” The “dash one” modems transmit
at a lower frequency than they receive while the “dash two” modems are the reverse. One modem of each type is
required to form a link.
