Ethernet Configuration Tip
To avoid Ethernet mismatch problems, the AR1202 and AR1204 router and the network device to which it is
attached should both be configured identically for speed and duplex. For example, if the router is configured for
auto-negotiation and the far end is configured manually, the router detects the speed, but defaults to half-duplex
mode. To ensure correct operation, either manually configure each device for speed and duplex settings, or
configure both devices to auto-negotiate.
Changing Login Parameters
The System Administrator login consists of two components: the user name and the password. The initial login
name is always foundry, but you can change this to suit your needs after logging in for the first time. The default
password for user Foundry, foundry, should be changed as soon as possible to ensure only authorized access to
the router.
For more information about command usage for T1 products, refer to the Command Reference Guide: Domestic
Products. For information about command usage for E1 products, refer to the Command Reference Guide:
International Products. These guides are available on the Foundry website.
