Application Note: Accessing the Root Password of an ENVIROMUX-SEMS
Steps to Access the Root Password of an ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit:
- Connect a serial cable between a PC and the console port of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit. Have a Hyperterminal (or other serial com application) open and set to current serial settings of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit (default is 9600). To test the connection, hit "enter" and a message requesting a password should be seen on the Hyperterminal (just as a test).
- Use the Discover tool to detect the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x in the network. This requires that the PC where the Discover tool is ran and the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x are on the same physical network. (A cross-over CAT5 cable between PC and the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x will also work.)
- In the Discover tool window type 1.2.3.4 in (30 mm) all three fields (IP Address, Default Gateway and Subnet Mask) and press Apply. This will cause the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x unit to print the current root password on the serial console (HyperTerminal) between two vertical bars (like |admin|). The IP settings will remain the same, and not change to 1.2.3.4.
