Initial CCM appliance login

The CCM appliance ships with a single user defined in its user database. The first time you connect
to the CCM appliance, you are prompted for a username.

To log in to the CCM appliance for the first time:

1. At the Username prompt, type

Admin

. There is no factory default password for the Admin

user. At the Password prompt, press

Return

.

Username: Admin
Password:
Authentication Complete
CCM configuration is required.

2. Once authentication completes, the CCM appliance prompts for any missing configuration val-

ues that are required for operation.
If you already provided the IP address, subnet mask and gateway, you will not be prompted for
those values again.
If you have not already provided the network information, you will be prompted for them.
Enter the addresses using standard dot notation.

CCM configuration is required
Enter CCM IP address > 192.168.0.5
Enter CCM Subnet mask > 255.255.255.0
Enter CCM Gateway address > 0.0.0.0

3. You are prompted for a new Admin password. Passwords are case sensitive and must contain

3-16 alphanumeric characters. You must enter the new password twice to confirm that you
entered it correctly.

Enter CCM New Admin Password > *****
Confirm New Admin Password > *****

After you have provided the required configuration information, a confirmation message appears
while the CCM appliance stores the values in its configuration database.
You have now completed the initial login, and you may enter additional commands at the CLI
prompt (>). To configure other CCM appliance ports, see Configuring Serial Port Settings on
page 11
.

Reinitializing the CCM Appliance

Reinitializing the CCM appliance removes configured information. This may be useful when
reinstalling the unit at another location in your network.
The CCM appliance stores configuration information in FLASH databases. During reinitialization,
the FLASH erase has two phases. The first phase erases the configuration database, which contains
all nonvolatile data except the IP address. The second phase erases the IP address and restores the
CCM appliance to its factory default settings.
