3.5 Recover the User Interface Access
The J9 | COM1 RJ-45 Ethernet port on the LPOD-R is the only means of access for monitor and
control (M&C) of the product. Loss of the unit’s Management IP Address or the interface access
credentials (the username/password and SNMP communities) prevents you from monitoring
and controlling the LPOD-R.
You can reset the access credentials for the LPOD-R. By issuing a ping command to IP Address
169.254.1.1 within the first 10 seconds of power cycle/reset of the unit, the LPOD-R resets its
access credentials to their factory default settings.
