The ECLYPSE Series Controller configuration can be made through the controller’s configuration Web
interface to set all the controller’s configuration parameters including the controller’s IP address ac-
cording to your network planning.
At the first connection to an ECLYPSE Controller you will be forced to change the password to a
strong password for the admin account to protect access to the controller.
It is important to create new user accounts with strong passwords to protect the controller from unau-
thorized access. See User Management, Securing an ECLYPSE Controller, Supported RADIUS Server Ar-
chitectures.
Next Steps
In Network Settings, configure the controller’s network parameters so that they are compatible with
