Quick Start Recommendations
The following description is included to aid those users experienced with communications equipment
that may wish to attempt to configure the router without fully reading the guide.
1. Locate/mount the chassis in its final resting place and apply power.
2. The router can be configured through its web management interface, or for advanced users,
through ssh. The default Ethernet addresses for ports one through four are 192.168.1.1
through 192.168.4.1. Two shell accounts, rrsetup and root, are provided. Both accounts have a
default password of “admin”. The web management interface uses the root account password.
The rrsetup account provides a shell that configures such items as passwords, addresses,
date/time and services offered by the router. The root account provides a full shell.
3. Attach a PC running terminal emulation software to the RS232 port and apply power to the
chassis (default baud rate, data bits, parity - “38400 8 n 1”, no hardware/software flow control).
Set the terminal type to VT100. Press ENTER to obtain a login prompt.
Initial Configuration Before Attaching To The Network
4. Login as the rrsetup user with password “admin”.
5. Change the root and rrsetup passwords from the shell. Record the passwords in
a secure manner. If RADIUS authentication will be employed, configure at least one
authentication server address.
6. Configure the router’s hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses for the
built-in Ethernet ports.
7. For an RX1100 router, the Gauntlet Security application may be configured with the
passphrase allocated to the network the network address of the Command and Control Center
(CCC). Note that you must also configure and activate the firewall before using the Gauntlet.
8. Ensure that the date, time and timezone fields are correctly set.
9. If Web or SSH services will not be used, these can be disabled from the setup shell.
10. All further configuration is accomplished through the web management interface. Attach
the configuring host to one of the Ethernet ports configured above. Point your web
browser at the address for that port, use https and specify a port number of 10000, e.g.
https://192.168.1.1:10000 (or otherwise if configured in step 4). Login with the root user and
password (configured above). If RADIUS authentication is configured and a server is available,
you may also login via a RADIUS user.
