4 - Configuration
Certain parameters must be configured before the MSS can function in the network. EZWebCon is
the recommended way to communicate with and configure the MSS. This chapter shows an
additional method of configuration: the command line interface and MSS command set.
NOTE: Instructions for using EZWebCon are included with the software. EZWebCon also
has on-line help to assist you with configuration.
4.1 Command Set
The command line interface allows users to enter commands at the Local prompt to configure,
monitor, and use the server. This chapter covers many of the MSS commands. Some commands do
not apply to the MSS485, and are so noted. The full command set is discussed in detail in Chapter
6, Commands.
NOTE: To return to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button while cycling power
on the unit, or enter the Initialize Factory command at the Local> prompt.
4.2 System Passwords
There are two important passwords for the MSS: the privileged password and the login password.
These passwords have default settings and are discussed in the following sections.
4.2.1 Privileged Password
Only the privileged user can change server or port settings. To become the privileged user, enter
the following command. The default privileged password is system.
If another user is currently the privileged user for the MSS, use the Set Privileged Override
command to forcibly become the privileged user. To relinquish privileged status, enter the Set
Noprivilege command.
The privileged password can be changed with the Change Privpass command. Specify a new
password of up to six alphanumeric characters.
