Connect to a Management Console

Use a USB Type A cable to connect the USB console port to a laptop or PC to configure and monitor the device. A Mini-B USB console serial port on the front panel can also be used for management functions. The laptop or PC serves as the management console.

The default communication protocol settings for the serial console interface are:

Baud rate: 115200 bps
Data bits: 8
Stop bit: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: None

A login prompt displays when the connection is initiated. Use the following default credentials to login:

username: admin password: rocks

Note

There might be a delay of up to five minutes before the device is ready for login after powering on or rebooting.
