1.2 Logging in
Use the administrator password to log into the ZyXEL Device. The default value is ‘admin’ or
‘1234’ - see your ZyXEL Device User’s Guide to see which one to use. Some ZyXEL Devices
may require you to also enter a user name. The default user name is ‘admin’.
The ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes
of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again. Use the sys stdio command
to extend the idle timeout. For example, the ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out of the
management interface after 60 minutes of inactivity after you use the sys stdio 60
command.
