A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps will be displayed. Log in
using the default system user name
root
and the default password is
default
Note: The LAN connected computer must be configured with an IP address in the same
network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the SD4008. If this is not convenient, you can
use the
ARP-Ping
command to reset the SD4008 IP address. Also the SD4008 has
its DHCP client enabled by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP
address assigned by any DHCP server on your network – and will then respond at
both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Go to System: Administration then enter and confirm a new System
Password and click Apply
You can now assign your SD4008 a new static IP address or permanently enable DHCP.
Select System: IP menu then check dhcp or static for the Configuration Method
Enable serial & network console access
Select Serial & Network: Serial Port and you will see the current labels, modes, and
RS232/422/485 protocol options that are currently set up for the serial port. By default the
serial port is set in Console Server mode (refer the User Manual if other modes are
required). For the port to be reconfigured click Edit
Configure the Common Settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits and Flow
Control) for the serial port to match those of the device being controlled. Then select the
Console Server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP and RFC2217) that are to be used for the
data connection to that port. A Logging Level may also be set to specifies the level of
information to be logged and monitored for each Serial Port access. Click Apply
To enable Users to have SDT (RPD/VNC/Telnet/SSH/HTTP/X etc) access to LAN
connected computers or infrastructure appliances (Hosts), select Serial & Network:
Network Hosts and click Add Host
