 Click Apply. Since you have changed the password you will be prompted to log in again. This
time, use the new password.
Note If you are not confident that your console server has the current firmware release, you can
upgrade. Refer to Upgrade Firmware—Chapter 10.
3.2.1 Set up new administrator
It is also recommended that you set up a new Administrator user as soon as convenient and log-in as
this new user for all ongoing administration functions (rather than root).
This Administrator can be configured in the admin group with full access privileges through the Serial &
Network: Users & Groups menu (refer Chapter 4 for details)
3.2.2 Name the console server
It is also recommended that you set up a System Name for your console server to make it simple to
identify.
 Select System: Administration
and enter a System Name and System Description for the
console server to give it a unique ID.
Note The System Name can contain from 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters (however you can also use
the special characters “-”, “_”, and “.”)
There are no restrictions on the characters that can be used in the System Description or the
System Password (each can contain up to 254 characters). However, only the first eight System
Password characters are used to make the password hash.
