Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: Hardware
See the AR400 Series Router Hardware Reference for more information on
configuring emulation software.
2. Log in and set the password.
The login prompt appears on the terminal or PC. If the login prompt does not
appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the router boots for the first time it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the login name “manager” and the
password is “friend”. Passwords are case sensitive.
At the log in prompt, enter the login name and password.
Login: manager
Password: friend
The router’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the router
using the command line interface.
Warning Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager
account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you
remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
Use the following command to change the account password:
set password
3. Configure the router.
See the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more information on router
start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message definitions). To
continue configuring the router using the CLI, use the commands in the
Software Reference.
