Unlock Server
The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected switch so that the user can
modify its configuration, import/export a configuration, etc. There are six possible responses under
the Status column. The Status of an EDS indicates how the switch was located (by Moxa
EtherDevice Switch Configurator), and what type of password protection it has.
The six options are as follows (note that the term Fixed is borrowed from the standard fixed IP
address networking terminology):
Locked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password
has not yet been entered from within the current Configurator session.
Unlocked
The switch is password protected, “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it, and the password
has been entered from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth during this
Configurator session, activating various utilities for this switch will not require re-entering the
server password.
Blank
The EDS is not password protected, and “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it.
Follow the steps given below to unlock a locked EDS (i.e., an EDS with Status “Locked” or
“Locked Fixed”). Highlight the server (from the EDS list in the Configurator window’s left pane),
and then click the Unlock toolbar icon
, or select Unlock from the Configuration menu.
1. Enter the switch’s User Name and Password when prompted, and then click OK.
2. When the Unlock status window reports Progress as OK, click the Close button in the upper
right corner of the window.
