Diagnostic Console
The Diagnostic Console is a standard, non-graphical interface that provides local access to CC-
SG. It can be accessed from a serial or KVM port, or from Secure Shell (SSH) clients, such as
Putty or OpenSSH Client.
Two logins are provided
⎯one is status, which gives access to the Status Console, and the other
is admin, which gives access to the Administrator Console. All login usernames and passwords
are case-sensitive.
About Status Console
In the default configuration, the Status Console does not require a password. Typing status at the
login prompt displays the current system information and is useful in ascertaining the health of
CC-SG, the various services used by CC-SG, and the attached network.
About Administrator Console
The default username/password for the Administrator Console is admin/raritan. The admin
account allows you to set some initial parameters, provide initial networking configuration, debug
log files, and perform some limited diagnostics and restarting CC-SG. The Diagnostic Console
admin account is separate and distinct from the admin account and password used in the CC-SG
administrator’s Director Client and the html-based Access Client. The same or different
passwords may be used for both accounts. Changing one of these passwords does not affect the
other.
Note: If accessing Diagnostic Console via SSH, the Status Console and the Administrator
Console inherit the appearance settings that are configured in your SSH client and keyboard
bindings, which may not agree in all aspects with this documentation.
Accessing Diagnostic Console via VGA/Keyboard/Mouse Port
1. Attach a VGA monitor plus PS2 keyboard and mouse to the rear of the CC-SG unit.
2. Video monitor should detect a signal and entering <CR> or <Return> on the keyboard should
evoke a login prompt on the screen:

the CC-SG, and specify 23 for the port.
