TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual EDS Configurator GUI
4-10
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 a TN-5500 indicates how the switch was located (by Moxa EDS
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):
y 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.
y 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.
y Blank
The TN-5500 is not password protected, and “Broadcast Search” was used to locate it.
Follow the steps given below to unlock a locked TN-5500 (i.e., an TN-5500 with Status “Locked”
or “Locked Fixed”). Highlight the server (from the Moxa switch 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.
