Logging In
Overview
KN2108 / KN2116 switches can be accessed from a local console; an internet
browser; a Windows application (AP) program; and a Java application (AP)
program.
No matter which access method you choose, the switch’s authentication
procedure requires you to submit a valid username and password. If you supply
an invalid login, the authentication routine will return an Invalid Username or
Password, or Login Failed message. If you see this type of message, log in
again with a correct username and password.
Local Console Login
After the local console has been connected and the KN2108 / KN2116 turned
on, a login prompt appears on the console monitor:
If this is the first time you are logging in, use the default Username:
administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes, we
strongly recommend that you use the User Management function (see page 48)
to remove these and give yourself a unique Username and Password with the
appropriate permissions.
Otherwise, simply key in your Username and Password, then click Login to
bring up the Local Console OSD. The Local Console OSD is similar to the
WinClient and Java Applet Viewer Main Pages. See The User Interface,
page 77.
