A Welcome screen, which lists four initial installation configuration steps, will be displayed:
1. Change the default administration password on the System/Administration page (Chapter 3).
2. Configure the local network settings on the System/IP page (Chapter 3).
3. Configure port settings and enable ….. the Serial & Network/Serial Port page (Chapter 4).
4. Configure users with access to serial ports on the Serial & Network/Users page (Chapter 3).
After completing each of the above steps, you can return to the configuration list by clicking in the top left corner of the
screen on the Black Box logo.
Note If you are not able to connect to the Management Console at 192.168.0.1 or if the default Username/Password
were not accepted, then reset your console server (refer to Chapter 11).

For security reasons, only the administrator user named root can initially log into your console server. Only people who
know the root password can access and reconfigure the console server itself. However, anyone who correctly guesses
the root password could gain access (and the default root password is default). To avoid this, enter and confirm a new
root password before giving the console server any access to, or control of, your computers and network appliances.
Note: We recommend that you set up a new Administrator user as soon as convenient and log in as this new user for all
ongoing administration functions (rather than root). This Administrator can be configured in the admin group with
full access privileges through the Serial & Network: Users & Groups menu as detailed in Chapter 4.
Select System: Administration.
Enter a new System Password then re-enter it in Confirm System Password. This is the new password for
root, the main administrative user account, so choose a complex password, and keep it safe.
At this stage, you may also wish to enter a System Name and System Description for the console server to give
it a unique ID and make it simple to identify.
Note The System Name can contain from 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters (however, you can also use the special
characters “-”, “_”, and “.”)
There are no restrictions on the characters that can be used in the System Description or the System Password
(each can contain up to 254 characters). However, only the first eight System Password characters are used to
make the password hash.
