4 Administrating the SCADA Gateway
The SCADA gateway runs on CentOS or the Solaris operating system
(which is a variant of UNIX), depending on your server type. This chapter
tells you how to carry out basic maintenance and operational tasks by
logging onto the SCADA gateway and using the operating system
command line interface.
Note that, whilst still supported, Solaris-based servers are no longer
available.
4.1 Logging on to the SCADA Gateway
You can connect to the SCADA gateway using an SSH terminal
application.
1. Use an SSH terminal application to connect to the IP address of the
SCADA gateway.
2. You should see the following prompt:
login as:
Enter taitnet.
3. You will be asked for a password, the default is tait. Enter the
password and press enter.
You should now be logged on to the SCADA gateway using the
default command shell (bash).
When you are ready to logout, enter logout or just press Ctrl-d.
4.2 Logging on to the SCADA Gateway as ‘root’
Some tasks can only be carried out if you are logged in as root. To do this
use the UNIX su command.
1. Logon as user taitnet as described above.
2. At the prompt enter:
su -
3. You will be prompted for the root password. The default is
K1w1k1w1.
4. When you are done, press Ctrl-d to logout. You will switch back
to being the taitnet user.
