Initial Configuration Using CLI

Note: These steps, which use the CLI, are optional since the same
configuration can be done via KVM. See
Started Using KX III" on page 9) for more information.
KX III devices come from the factory with default factory settings. When
you first power up and connect to the device, you must set the following
basic parameters so the device can be accessed securely from the
network:
1. Reset the administrator password. All KX III devices are shipped with
the same default password. Therefore, to avoid security breaches it
is imperative that you change the admin password from raritan to
one customized for the administrators who will manage the KX III
device.
2. Assign the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address to
allow remote access.
Setting Parameters
To set parameters, you must be logged on with administrative privileges.
Setting Network Parameters
Network parameters are configured using the interface command.
admin > Config > Network > interface ipauto none ip
192.168.151.12 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.151.1 mode
auto
When the command is accepted, the device automatically drops the
connection. You must reconnect to the device using the new IP address
and the user name and password you created in the resetting factory
default password section.
Important: If the password is forgotten, the KX III will need to be reset to
the factory default from the Reset button on the back of the KX III. The
initial configuration tasks will need to be performed again if this is done.
The KX III now has the basic configuration and can be accessed
remotely via SSH, GUI, or locally using the local serial port. The
administrator needs to configure the users and groups, services, security,
and serial ports to which the serial targets are attached to the KX III.
