Setting Up the Hub 4-5 Setting the Password Access to the hub is password-protected. To display the password prompt when the hub is first powered up, press any key. The modem init string (AT&F) appears briefly. You are then prompted for the password. The hub is shipped with no password installed. At the password prompt, press [Enter]. You can set the password using either the management or the primitive console command mode. (Refer to the section "Accessing Configuration Commands" in Chapter 3 for information about these two console command modes.) Once you enter a password, it will be required every time you reset the hub. To set your own password, follow these steps: 1. Enter the set pwd command from the terminal that is connected to the management module's serial port. You will be prompted for the old password if you are in the management console command mode. NOTE: In the primitive console command mode you will not be prompted for the old password. Skip to step 3. 2. Enter the old password. You will be prompted for a new password. 3. Enter the new password. The password can be one to eight alphanumeric characters. Passwords are case sensitive. 4. At the next prompt, confirm the new password by reentering it. If you entered the new password correctly, this message appears: Password changed If you entered the password incorrectly, this message appears: Password not changed.
