74 Installing the Wireless Array

 Since XR-500 and XR-1000 and some XR-2000 models do not have a

console port, these models have Xircon access to both XBL and CLI

enabled by default. For Arrays that do not have a console port, to avoid

potentially being locked out of the Array, Xircon should always be

enabled at the XBL level at least.

 On all other Array models (those with a console port), Xircon access to

both XBL and CLI is disabled by default. If Xircon is not going to be used

to access an Array, we recommend leaving Xircon access disabled.

Procedure for Securing Low Level Array Access

Use the following steps to replace the default XBL username and password, and

optionally to change the type of Xircon management access that is allowed. These

steps use CLI commands.

1. To access CLI via the WMI, click CLI under the Tools section on the left

(for detailed instructions see “CLI” on page 385). Skip to Step 4 on

page 75.

To access CLI via SSH, see “Establishing a Secure Shell (SSH)

Connection” on page 398. Then proceed to the next step.

2. At the login as prompt, log in to CLI using the username and password

that you set in Step 5 on page 163, or the default value of admin/admin if

you have not changed them.

If you disable Xircon access to both XBL and CLI on models with no console

port, you must ensure that you do not lose track of the username and password

to log in to CLI/WMI! In this situation, there is no way to recover from a lost

password, other than returning the Array to Xirrus. If you have Xircon access

to XBL enabled, you can reset the password, but this recovery will require

setting the unit to factory defaults with loss of all configuration data.
