The passwords can later be changed, either from the Web GUI or via the terminal.

7.2.1 Resetting the password list

If a password is lost, the password list can be reset to factory defaults via the local USB terminal

interface. To reset the password list, type the following command in the terminal interface:

userdb factory_defaults

Note: The factory_defaults option on the userdb command is avail-

able without administrator previledges only when accessing the terminal

via the local USB interface. In remote terminal sessions with a Telnet

client, administrator privileges are required to run the same command.

7.3 Changing the IP address of the unit

The CP560 is supplied with a dedicated management Ethernet port, labeled Control. The default

IP conﬁguration (IP address and netmask) of the port is 10.0.0.10/255.255.255.0.

7.3.1 Changing IP address via the Web GUI

Changing the default IP address using the Web interface requires that your management com-

puter may be conﬁgured with a static IP address.

Note: Avoid connecting through a network at this stage, as this may give

unpredictable results due to possible IP address conﬂicts.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable directly between the PC and the Ethernet control port of the

CP560. Conﬁgure the PC to be on the same sub net as the CP560. See Figure 7.2.

2. Open your web browser and type http://10.0.0.10 in the address ﬁeld of the browser.

Log into the GUI with username admin and password salvador.

3. Browse to Device Info -> Network -> Control in the GUI, and set the correct IP address

settings. Click apply to activate the new parameters. Figure 7.1 shows this GUI screen.

Note: Contact with the unit’s GUI will be lost. Please type http://<your

new IP address> in your browser to reconnect to the unit.
