System Manager
You can use System Manager to configure the module and update the module firmware.
You can access System Manager remotely via Ethernet connection, by typing the IP address of
the Embedded Edge Compute Module into a web browser window.
When you remotely access System Manager via a web browser, you could be warned that the
connection is not private and the security certificate is not trusted. In this case, select the
Advanced option and proceed.
Device configuration access is protected with a combination of username and password:
•The default username is admin.
• The default password is admin.
When you first access System Manager, you are prompted to change the password. After the
password changes, a restart will be required. With the next sign-on, you can access with the
Admin username and password, or with the User account (if activated by the Admin).
The admin account allows to access the System Manager interface and is also the
one to be used to transfer the FactoryTalk® Optix™ application via FactoryTalk®
Optix Studio™.
IMPORTANT Creating a strong and secure password can reduce the risk of
cybercriminals guessing your password and accessing sensitive data.
For this reason, the password must meet the following criteria:
• be at least 8 characters long.
• meet at least 3 of the following requirements: at least one uppercase
character, at least one lowercase character, at least one numeric
character, at least a symbolic character.
Given that a strong password makes the amount of time it takes to
guess it exponentially longer, it is highly recommended the use of pass
phrases longer than 8 characters.
