Passwords
Networking allows multiple users in both remote and local locations to
use the EthernetBlaster communications cable, increasing the
productivity in prototyping and debugging. However, because of this
flexibility, it is necessary to limit and control user access using the
provided password service in the EthernetBlaster communications cable
setup.
The EthernetBlaster communications cable contains two types of
passwords, an administrative password and a Quartus II remote
connection password.
The administrative password is the master password used to enter the
EthernetBlaster administrative web page. If you know the administrative
password you have full control of settings and the ability to modify both
the administrative password and the Quartus II remote connection
password.
The Quartus II remote connection password enables clients to add the
EthernetBlaster hardware to their Quartus II Programmer hardware
setup. This password is used to control who has access to the
EthernetBlaster communications cable. However, they do not have access
to the EthernetBlaster administrative web page and cannot modify the
settings or change passwords.
