It is good practice to change the default root password.
The SnapGear firmware automates this step after a reset:
1 Enter a new password in the New Password field.
2 The characters you type are masked, so you are required
to enter the new password the same way twice to ensure
it is changed as intended. Re-enter the password in the
Confirm Password field.
Note: This password will be required for all administrative
access until additional administrative accounts are created. If
forgotten before these accounts are added, the appliance
must be reset to the factory default mode to regain access.
3 Click Submit.
To subsequently change the root password:
1 Click Users under the System menu.
2 Edit the root user. You can also create new administrative
accounts in this area.
It is good practice to cable the Ethernet port B for Internet
access prior to running the Quick Setup Wizard. The Wizard
can automatically configure some circuit types if the port is
cabled prior to completing the Internet steps.
1 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the cable
modem, DSL router, or other device supplied by the ISP.
2 Cable and power that device as instructed by the ISP.
After setting the new root password, the Quick Setup
Wizard starts on the LAN page. All of the settings
established by the Wizard can be changed later using
the regular menu system.
1 Type a unique hostname in the Hostname field. This
name will identify the unit.
2 Leave the LAN Direct Connection Settings set to the
default selection of Manual configuration.
3 Click Next.
