Description
If you have changed your login password on a NetLink SVP Server, or have forgotten
what the password is, it is still possible to gain access to some limited functionality of
the gateway in order to change the password back.
Setup
On a VT100 Terminal, run a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal
TM
.
Connect your terminal to the RS-232 port using a null-modem cable. For more
information on how to connect to the gateway, refer to the NetLink SVP Server
Installation, Setup, and Maintenance manual. The normal process of logging in consists
of entering “admin” as the login and password in lower case letters as follows;
login: admin
password: admin
However, for more security, you do have the ability to change the password using the
Change Password option under the main menu.
