Using the Configuration Utility (continued)
Console Interface > Utilities for Network debugging
The DSA-5100
console interface
provides several
utilities to assist the
Administrator. The
utilities provided are
described as follows:
Ping host (IP)
By sending an ICMP
echo request, a
specific target can be
tested.
Trace routing path
Trace the routing path to a specific target.
Display interface settings
Displays each network interface setting including the MAC address, IP address, and
netmask.
Display the routing table
The internal routing table of the DSA-5100 is displayed to assist the confirmation of
the successful setup of another static route on the DSA-5100.
Display ARP table
The internal ARP table of the DSA-5100 is displayed.
Display
system up time
The system up time of the DSA-5100 is displayed.
Check service status
The current status of each service on the DSA-5100.
Set device into ‘safe mode’
If the administrator is unable to use the Web Management Interface, through a
Web
browser, then he/she can choose this utility and set the DSA-5100 into safe mode.
The administrator can then manage this device with a Web browser again.
Synchronize clock with NTP server
Specify and immediately check and correct the clock through the NTP protocol and
network time server.
Since the DSA-5100 does not support manual setup for its internal
clock, you need to configure the internal clock through NTP.

Besides supporting the use of a console management interface through the connection
of the null modem, the DSA-5100 also supports the SSH online connection for the
DSA-5100’s setup. When using a null modem to connect to the DSA-5100 console,
you do not need to enter the administrator’s password.
When SSH is used to connect the DSA-5100, the username is
admin
and the default
password is also
admin
. The set values are the same as those for the Web
management interface. You can use this option to change the DSA-5100 administrator’s
password. If you forget the password and are unable to login to the console
management interface of the DSA-5100, you can still use the null modem cable to
connect directly
to the console management interface of the DSA-5100. You will need
to set the administrator’s password again.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued)
Console Interface > Change Admin password
Caution:
When using SSH for connection, we recommend that you immediately
change the DSA-5100 Admin username and password after you logon to the
system for the first time, for security purposes.
Console Interface > Reload Factory Default
Resets the system to factory default settings.
Console Interface > Restart the DSA-5100
Restarts the DSA-5100.
