81 Octaire Instruction Manual
To reset the Admin user name and password to their default values:
1. Flip the Service switch to the left to place it in Service mode (FIG. 41).
2. Log on to the Admin Home page, using the default Admin user name and password: super and
super.
3. From any page in the site, click the Configuration link.
4. On the APWeb Configuration page, click Reboot APWeb.
5. Wait approximately 20 to 30 seconds; then flip the Service switch to the right to automatically
reboot and return to normal functioning with the factory defaults (if you were not using the defaults,
restore your own settings now).
6. Optional – If you do not want to use the default values, enter new user names and passwords by
following the steps on page 71.
7. Optional – Enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask (see page 70).
Opening a Telnet Session
Important: Before a Telnet session can be opened, the Telnet option must be enabled under the
Enable/Disable Product Services options on the APWeb Administration page (see page 74).
A Telnet session for controlling the Octaire with BCS commands can be opened by clicking the Launch
Telnet Session button on the Diagnostics page. The button opens the PC’s default terminal emulation
program (e.g., HyperTerminal on Windows). A Telnet session may also be launched outside of the
APWeb server as a direct connection by specifying the correct IP address and port number.
Note: The Diagnostics page also allows you to enter a test BCS (Basic Control Structure) command
(see page 73) and view Communication Statistics.
Since only one client at a time can initiate a Telnet session, other clients who try to use Telnet or the
XBar Controller will be notified that they cannot control the system until the initial session is closed.
When site security is turned on (the default setting), the Admin user name and password are required to
log into this service.
To open a Telnet session:
1. From any page in the site, click the Diagnostics link.
2. Click Launch Telnet Session to open your terminal emulation program.
3. Enter your APWeb Admin user name and password.
The program is ready to accept BCS commands.
