Check service status: Check and display the status of the system.
Set device into “safe mode”: If administrator is unable to use Web Management
Interface via the browser for the system failed inexplicitly. Administrator can choose
this utility and set PLANET WSG-404 into safe mode, then administrator can
management this device with browser again.
Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the
NTP protocol and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not
support manual setup for its internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock
through the NTP.
Print the kernel ring buffer: It is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. The
program helps users to print out their boot up messages instead of copying the
messages by hand.
Main menu: Go back to the main menu.
Change admin password
Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of
null modem, the system also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When
using a null modem to connect to the system console, we do not need to enter
administrator’s password to enter the console management interface. But connecting the
system by SSH, we have to enter the username and password.
The username is “admin” and the default password is also “admin”, which is the same as
for the web management interface. Password can also be changed here. If administrators
forget the password and are unable to log in the management interface from the web or
the remote end of the SSH, they can still use the null modem to connect the console
management interface and set the administrator’s password again.
Note:
Although it does not require a username and password for the connection via the serial port, the
same management interface can be accessed via SSH. Therefore, we recommend you to
immediately change the PLANET WSG-404 Admin username and password after logging in the
system for the first time.
