3.1.3 Initial B092-016 connection
For the initial configuration of the B092-016 Console Server, you will need to connect a console
(keyboard, mouse and display) or a KVM switch directly to its mouse, keyboard and VGA ports. When
you initially power on the B092-016, you will be prompted on your directly connected video console to
log in
Enter the default administration username and password (Username: root Password: default).
The B092-016 control panel will be displayed
Click the Configure button on the control panel. This will load the Firefox browser and open the
B092-016 Management Console
At the Management Console menu select System: Administration
3.2 Administrator Password
For security reasons, only the administration user named root can initially log into your Console Server.
Only those people who know the root password can access and reconfigure the Console Server itself.
However, anyone who correctly guesses the root password (and the default root password which is
default) could gain access. It is therefore essential that you enter and confirm a new root password
before giving the Console Server any access to, or control of, your computers and network appliances.
Note: It is also recommended that you set up a new Administrator user as soon as convenient and log-
in as this new user for all ongoing administration functions (rather than root). This Administrator can be
configured in the admin group with full access privileges through the Serial & Network: Users & Groups
menu as detailed in Chapter 4
