6 SERVICE ACCESS
The embedded Linux can be accessed and configured either through the service USB Type-C connector or through
SSH or web interface with a working Ethernet connection.
Default user and password
The default user is admin and the password is lorix4u. This is useful and easy to remember during the initial
configuration time but we strongly advise changing the password as soon as possible as explained in 7.2.1
Password.
6.1 ACCESS METHODS
6.1.1 OVERVIEW
This diagram gives an overview of the methods you
can use to access the gateway. If you have only
USB or if network is not configured (or IP is not
known), you have always terminal access through
the USB service connector.
As soon as the network is configured and working,
you can decide either to use terminal through
network (SSH) or the more user-friendly web
interface through your favourite web browser.
If your network doesn’t have a DHCP server, you
need to configure a static IP address using the USB
access.

6.1.2 NETWORK ACCESS
To reach the gateway through the web interface or
through SSH if you prefer using a terminal, you
need a working network with a DHCP server (which
will provide a dynamic IP address) or define a static
IP address for your gateway.
If your gateway has an IP and you know it, you can
simply reach it as explained at 6.3 Network.
If you don’t know the IP but probably have a DHCP
server, you can’t try to reach it using mDNS as
explained at 6.3.1 mDNS or find the IP from the
router’s admin interface.
Finally, you can find the IP or configure it as static
through the USB interface.
