Operator to Manager to Configuration. The prompts are shown in Figure 2 below, with a

Logging in for the first time
For the first time, use the default user name and passwords assigned by GarrettCom for
the Magnum 6K family of switches. They are:
Username – manager Password – manager
Username – operator Password – operator
We recommend you login as manager for the first time to set up the IP address as well as
change user passwords or create new users.
Setting the IP parameters
To setup the switch, the IP address and other relevant TCP/IP parameters have to be
specified. A new GarrettCom Magnum switch looks for a DHCP or a BootP server. If a
DHCP or a BootP server is present, the switch will be assigned an IP address from those
servers. Failing to find these servers, the IP address is automatically assigned to
192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
