TANDBERG Border Controller User Manual
3 Getting started
3.1 System Administration
To configure and monitor the TANDBERG Border Controller you can either use the web interface
or a command line interface. The command line interface is available over SSH and Telnet, or
through the ser ial port. The interface is the same using all three access methods. By default
administration sessions remain active until you logout. Session timeouts may be enabled using
the xConfiguration Session TimeOut command.
To enter commands you should start a session and login with user name admin and your
password.
The interface groups information in different commands:
xstatus Provides a read only interface to determine the current status of the system. Information
such as current calls and registrations is available through this command group.
xconfiguration A read/wri te interface to set system configuration data such as IP address and
subnet.
xcommand A miscellaneous group of commands for setting information or obtaining it.
xhistory Provides historical information about calls and registrations.
xfeedback An event interface, providing information about calls and registrations.
A command reference is given in section 11
3.1.1 Administrator Account
All administration requires you to log in to the administration acco unt with a user name admin
and a password. The default password is TANDBERG, which you are recommended to change
as soon as possible. Choose a strong password, particularly if administraion over IP is en-
abled. Changing the password can only be done through the command line interface using the
command:
xconfiguration systemunit password: new password
If you forget your password, it is possible to set a new password using the following procedure:
• Reboot the Border Controller.
• Connect to the Border Controller over the serial interface once it has restarted.
• Login with the user name pwrec. No password is required.
• You will be prompted for a new password.
The pwrec account is only active for one minute following a restart. Beyond that time you will
have to restart the system again to change the password. Because access to the serial port
allows the password to be reset, it is recommended that you install the Border Controller in a
physically secure environment.
