This chapter covers all of the steps needed to get the MSS online and working. There are
three basic methods used to log into the MSS and begin configuration.
Incoming (Remote) Logins: EZWebCon is the preferred configuration method.
Users can also log into the MSS' internal HTTP server via a standard web
browser. After the initial configuration, the MSS can be accessed remotely
across TCP/IP networks through Telnet connections. Incoming connections also
include network socket port connections (ports 2001-2004 and 3001-3004).
Serial Port Logins: Users can connect a terminal directly to a serial port, log in,
and use the command line interface to configure the unit.
Remote Console Logins: TCP/IP users can make a Telnet connection to the
remote console port (port 7000).
Consider the following points before logging into and configuring the MSS:
The MSS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is
available (see IP Address Configuration).
Connecting a terminal to a serial port or logging into the remote console port
does not automatically create privileged user status. You must use the Set
Privileged command to configure the unit (see Privileged User Status).
Only one person at a time may be logged into the remote console port (port
7000). This reduces the possibility of several people simultaneously attempting to
configure the MSS.
Remote console logins cannot be disabled. The system manager will always be
able to access the unit.
Privileged User Status
Many MSS commands require privileged user (superuser) status. For example, only the
privileged user can change server-wide or port-specific settings.
To become the privileged user, enter the following command. The default privileged
password is system.

Local> SET PRIVILEGED
Note: Default passwords pose a security risk and should be changed as soon as
possible. This is especially true of the privileged password.
If another user is currently the privileged user for the MSS, use the Set Privileged
Override command to forcibly become the privileged user. To relinquish privileged
status, enter the Set Noprivilege command.
