Logging into the WBM for the first time
When logging into WBM for the first time, a popup window appears prompting you to log in
with the default user "admin".
1. Enter the preset default user name "admin" in the "User" text box.
2. Enter the preset default password "admin" in the "Password" text box.
3. Click the "Log in" button.
Reaction: The popup window is updated and you are prompted to change the default
password for the "admin" user.
Note: Alternatively, you can use the "Disable authentication" button to disable
authentication.
4. If needed, select the primary interface connection over which you are operating the
communications module from the "Operational environment" drop-down list.
5. Enter your new password for the "admin" user in the "New password" text box.
6. In the "Confirm password" text box, enter the newly selected password again.
7. Click the "Log in" button.
Result: You are logged in to the WBM with the "admin" profile and can now set
communications module parameters.
Operational environment
Depending on the selected operational environment, the interfaces, communication
channels, and associated services that match the mode are enabled beforehand. This restores
the parameter values for the mode to the factory default values.
This function increases the security of your device because all other interfaces,
communication channels and the associated services are disabled.
Regular login to the WBM
Depending on whether the authentication is enabled or disabled, you may have to log in with
your user name and the corresponding password. The WBM homepage opens after logging
in, even if authentication is disabled.

NOTICE
Security recommendation: Authentication
To ensure that no unauthorized persons can access the communications module
settings, we recommend that you enable the authentication and create new user
profiles. You should also read the information under the "Passwords" heading of the
"Security recommendations (Page 9)" section.
The authentication can only be enabled/disabled by an administrator.
For further information on logging in to WBM and creating/deleting user profiles, refer to
