After the BlackDiamond has completed the POST, it is operational. Once operational,
you can log in to the system and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named
default).
To manually configure the IP settings, perform the following steps:
1 Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal-emulation software to the MSM
console port.
2 At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.
3 At the login prompt, enter the default user name admin to log on with administrator
privileges. For example:
login: admin
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions.
For more information on switch security, refer to the BlackDiamond User Guide .
