All users that existed in the transferred D20/D200 configuration now have the default
password: changeme. Change these passwords using the passwd command in the D20MX
Shell. Refer to the WESMAINT II+ for D20MX Configuration Guide B014- 0NCG for details of
this command.
If the D20MX was configured for device redundancy, once the sync to operation is
complete, the standby unit reboots and comes up again as standby with the new
configuration. If desired, switch over and synchronize the new configuration to the other
unit through the "Switch Over" and "Database Sync" functions available in the WESMAINT
System Functions menu. Refer to the WESMAINT II+ for D20MX User's Guide B014-0NUG
for details on these functions.
When transferring a redundant D20/D200, ensure the new D20MX standby IP addresses
do not conflict with other devices in the project. If they do, you may disable the standby IP
addresses or reassign them as described in "IP addresses" on page 47. If there are any
conflicts, the WESMAINT error log of the D20MX will log warnings such as the following:
1 ROOT N0: W001: IP of RDT1 same as CCUB
Where RDT1 is the host name of the device with a conflicting IP address.
