lantronix slc 8000 lcd panel default password factory

To get access to your Lantronix SecureLinux Console Manager (SLC), you need the IP of your device, the username and password. You"ll find such information in the Manual of your Lantronix SecureLinux Console Manager (SLC) router. But if you do not have the manual for your router or you do not want to read the whole manual to find the default login information then you can use the quick guide below. To get to the router login page it"s necessary that you are connected to the router.

Try different ID/password combinations that are widely used by Lantronix that you"ll find below. In this list are the most popular default username and password combinations used by Lantronix. Sometimes the username and password doesn"t work that we mentioned in the top of this guide. Then you can try these username/password combinations below to get access to your Lantronix SecureLinux Console Manager (SLC) wireless router.

All you need to do is to reset your SecureLinux Console Manager (SLC) modem. This can be done easily by clicking on the reset button at the back or at the bottom of your router. If you hold down this small button for approximately 20 seconds, (you may have to use a toothpick), then your modem will get restored to the factory settings. What you need to keep in mind is that when you reset your modem, you will lose your connection online. It is therefore better to take an expert"s assistance in this regard. Note: If you have not enough information, it is obviously recommended that you should get help from a person who has all the knowledge about this topic.

22 2: Introduction The SLC 8000 advanced console manager enables IT system administrators to manage remote servers and IT infrastructure equipment securely over the Internet. IT equipment can be configured, administered, and managed in a variety of ways, but most devices have one of two methods in common: via USB port and/or via an RS-232 serial port, sometimes called a console, auxiliary, or management port. These ports are often accessed directly by connecting a terminal or laptop to them, meaning that the administrator must be in the same physical location as the equipment. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager gives the administrator a way to access them remotely from anywhere there is a network or modem connection. The SLC 8000 unit can accommodate up to three I/O modules (16-port USB I/O module and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module.) Many types of equipment can be accessed and administered using console managers including: Servers: Unix, Linux, Windows, and others. Networking equipment: Routers, switches, storage networking. Telecom: PBX, voice switches. Other systems with serial interfaces: Heating/cooling systems, security/building access systems, UPS, medical devices. The key benefits of using console managers: Saves money: Enables remote management and troubleshooting without sending a technician onsite. Reduces travel costs and downtime costs. Saves time: Provides instant access and reduces response time, improving efficiency. Simplifies access: Enables you to access equipment securely and remotely after hours and on weekends and holidays without having to schedule visits or arrange for off-hour access. Protects assets: Security features provide encryption, authentication, authorization, and firewall features to protect your IT infrastructure while providing flexible remote access. The SLC advanced console manager provides features such as convenient text menu systems, break-safe operation, port buffering (logging), remote authentication, and Secure Shell (SSH) access. Dial-up modem support ensures access when the network is not available. Features Console Management Up to 48 serial RJ45 RS-232 and/or USB type A ports for console connectivity Note: USB ports are generally intended to connect directly to USB console ports. It is also possible to connect a USB to serial adapter to them to connect to serial console ports, if needed.

SLC 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 26

27 2: Introduction Device Port and Console Port Interfaces RS-232 RJ45 Interface Device ports are located on the back of the SLC 8000 unit (please see Figure 2-2). The console port is located on the front of the SLC 8000 unit (please see Figure 2-8). All devices attached to the device ports and the console port must support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. For serial RJ45 device ports and the console port, RJ45 cabling (e.g., category 5 or 6 patch cabling) is used. Serial RJ45 device ports for the SLC 8000 advanced console manager are reversed by default so that straight-through RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g. Ethernet patch cables. Note: RJ45 to DB9/DB25 adapters are available from Lantronix. For serial pinout information, see the Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 393. Device ports and the console port support the following baud-rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and baud. USB Interface The SLC unit can contain up to up to three I/O modules comprised of 16-port USB I/O module(s) and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module(s) installed in the three module bays available from the back of the SLC 8000 unit. USB device ports can be used with a USB type A connector to serial adapter, if needed. Figure 2-3 shows an SLC unit containing two 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 for a total of 32 serial RJ45 device ports and one 16-port USB I/O module installed in Bay 3, for a total of 48 device ports. Figure 2-4 shows an SLC unit containing three 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1, Bay 2 and Bay 3 for a total of 48 serial RJ45 device ports. Note: When installing I/O modules into an SLC 8000 (Figure 2-2), Bay 1, Bay 2, and Bay 3 must be populated in order. The 8-port RJ45 serial module is supported on Bay 1 only. I/F Card Slot: Dual Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or Dual Ethernet Port On the left back side of the SLC 8000 unit, a dual SFP port or dual Ethernet port I/F card can be installed. See Figure 2-5. If the dual SFP port is installed, copper or optic fiber 1 Gigabit SFP transceiver modules may be used. The SLC 8000 supports use of single and multi-mode SFPs.

49 4: Quick Setup This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running quickly, so you can administer the SLC advanced console manager using your network. Recommendations To set up the network connections quickly, we suggest you do one of the following: Use the front panel LCD display and keypad buttons to configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS address(es), if applicable. Complete the quick setup (see Figure 4-5) on the web interface. SSH to the command line interface and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface. Connect to the console port and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface. Note: The first time you power up the SLC unit, Eth1 tries to obtain its IP address via DHCP. If you have connected Eth1 to the network, and Eth1 is able to acquire an IP address, you can view this IP address on the LCD or by running the Lantronix Provisioning Manager application. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet, SSH, or the web interface to run Quick Setup. IP Address Your SLC 8000 advanced console manager must have a unique IP address on your network. The system administrator generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The IP address must be within a valid range and unique to your network. If a valid gateway address has not been assigned the IP address must be on the same subnet as workstations connecting to the SLC 8000 over the network. The following table lists the options for assigning an IP address to your SLC unit. Table 4-1 Methods of Assigning an IP Address Method DHCP BOOTP Front panel LCD display and keypads Serial port login to command line interface A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager is DHCP-enabled by default. With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the SLC unit powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address, viewable on the LCD. At this point, you can use SSH to connect to the SLC console manager or use the web interface. Non-dynamic predecessor to DHCP. You manually assign the IP address and other basic network, console, and date/time settings. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults. You assign an IP address and configure the SLC unit using a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the SLC serial console port connection.

50 4: Quick Setup Method #1 Using the Front Panel Display Before you begin, ensure that you have: Unique IP address that is valid on your network (unless automatically assigned) Subnet mask (unless automatically assigned) Gateway (unless automatically assigned) DNS settings (unless automatically assigned) Date, time, and time zone Console port settings: baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control Make sure the SLC advanced console manager is plugged into power and turned on. Front Panel LCD Display and Keypads With the SLC unit powered up, you can use the front panel display and buttons to set up the basic parameters. Figure 4-2 Front Panel LCD Display and Five Button Keypad (Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right) The front panel display initially shows the hostname (abbreviated to 14 letters) and the date and time. When you click the right-arrow button, the SLC network settings displays. Using the five buttons on the keypad, you can change the network, console port, and date/time sett
