Unlock Server

The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected Server so that the user
can modify its configuration, import/export a configuration, etc. To begin with, we point
out that there are six possible responses under the Status column. The Status of a MOXA
EtherDevice Server indicates how the server was located (by MOXA EtherDevice Server
Configurator), and what type of password protection it has.
The six options are as follows (note that the term Fixed is borrowed from the standard fixed
IP address networking terminology):
Locked
The Server is password protected, "Broadcast Search" was used to locate it, and the
password has not yet been entered from within the current Configurator session.
Unlocked
The Server is password protected, "Broadcast Search" was used to locate it, and the
password has been entered from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth
during this Configurator session, activating various utilities for this Server will not
require re-entering the server password.
