Initial Configuration Using CLI

Note: These steps, which use the CLI, are optional since the same configuration can be done via KVM. See Getting Started for more information.

KX III devices come from the factory with default factory settings. When you first power up and connect to the device, you must set the following basic parameters so the device can be accessed securely from the network:

  1. Reset the administrator password. All KX III devices are shipped with the same default password. Therefore, to avoid security breaches it is imperative that you change the admin password from raritan to one customized for the administrators who will manage the KX III device.
  2. Assign the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address to allow remote access.
