32 Accessing the Device
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which you are managing the device must
initially be on the same subnetwork as the device. To access the device with the
WebUI:
1. Connect your workstation to the port labeled 0/0 (ethernet0/0 interface), which
is prebound to the Trust security zone.
2. Ensure that your workstation is configured with a static IP address in the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
3. Launch your browser, enter the IP address for the ethernet0/0 interface (the
default IP address is 192.168.1.1), then press Enter.
The WebUI application displays the login prompt.
4. If you have not yet changed the default login for the admin name and
password, enter
netscreen at both the admin name and password prompts.
(Use lowercase letters only. The admin name and password fields are both
case-sensitive.)
5. Once the WebUI homepage opens, the device is ready to be configured. See
“Basic Device Configuration” on page 33 to complete the initial device
configuration.
Using Telnet
To use a Telnet connection, the workstation must be in the same subnetwork as the
security device. To access the device with a Telnet connection:
1. Connect your workstation to the port labeled 0/0 (ethernet0/0 interface), which
is prebound to the Trust security zone.
2. Ensure that your workstation is configured with a static IP address in the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
3. Start a Telnet client application to the IP address for the ethernet0/0 interface
(the default IP address is 192.168.1.1). For example, enter telnet 192.168.1.1.
The Telnet application displays the login prompt.
4. If you have not yet changed the default login for the login name and password,
enter
netscreen at both the login and password prompts. (Use lowercase letters
only. The login and password fields are both case-sensitive)
5. (Optional) By default, the console times out and terminates automatically after
10 minutes of idle time. To prevent the console from timing out and
terminating automatically, enter set console timeout 0.
