Mediant 8000
46.3.6.1 Configuring the EMS and ROOT Passwords of the Mediant 8000 in
the EMS
The EMS server uses ems and root user accounts to communicate with SC boards
during the Online Software Upgrade. Therefore SC boards ems and root user
passwords must be properly configured in the EMS prior to starting the Online
Software Upgrade.
Default passwords of ems and root users on SC boards match the default settings of
the EMS server. However for security reasons it is recommended to change these
passwords to some other value. See 'Changing the Password of EMS User' on page
365 and 'Changing the ROOT User Password' on page 362 for detailed instructions on
how to change ems and root passwords.
Note : Both SC boards must have the same ems and root passwords configured.
To configure the EMS and ROOT user passwords in the EMS:
1. Select the Media Gateway in the MG Tree.
2. Right-click the specific Gateway and from the pop-up menu select Details; the
MG Information dialog screen is displayed.
