Log in and set password

The log in prompt appears on the terminal or PC. If the log in prompt
doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the router boots for the first time it automatically creates an account
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and
the password is “friend”.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

Log in: manager

Password: friend

The router’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the
router using the command line interface.

Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure that you remember
the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

To access help, enter:

set help=help-filename

where

help-filename

is the name of a help file stored in flash.

To see a list of files stored in flash, enter:

show file

Help files have an HLP extension.

To display a list of help topics, enter:

help

To display help on a specific topic, enter:

help topic

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed
command to see a list of valid options.

See the AR Series Router Software Reference for more information on router
start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message
definitions).
