Accessing the Console User Interface

The appliance's console user interface can be used to perform basic administrative functions such as
changing the network configuration or viewing the appliance's MAC address details. It is also possible to
recover a forgotten administrator password, or reset the appliance to its factory default settings.
For hardware appliances you may access the console using a null modem cable connected to the serial port
on the rear of the chassis. Use serial port settings of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Flow
control is not required.
Both hardware and virtual appliances support command-line access directly at the console and remotely via
SSH. The following table summarizes the methods that you may use to access the console user interface.

Console Login

To access the console user interface, you must log in with the username admin and the appliance's root
password. This is amigopod by default, but is changed during the initial setup wizard.
When the administrator password is set during the setup wizard, the root password for the system will also be set
to this password. However, once you have set the initial root password, future changes to the administrator
password will not change the appliance's root password. The username to access the console user interface is
always admin and cannot be changed.

Console User Interface Functions

When logging in to the console user interface, the following menu options are presented. Make a selection
by typing its corresponding number.
1. Change network settings – Allows for interactive configuration of the appliance's network settings.
2. Restart services – Restarts major system services.
