Two ranges of port numbers are unavailable for use with the base station.
The WebUI will prevent you from entering a number from these ranges, as
explained below.
4.4.6 Changing the Root Password
Notice The following procedure can be carried out only if secure
shell access (SSH) is enabled. Secure shell access to the base station is
disabled by default from version 1.35 onwards. To enable SSH, select
Tools > Settings > Secure shell and click Start.
The root password to the Linux operating system of the reciter is a potential
security risk. The equipment is delivered with a default password that is
well known. Knowledge of the password could be used to render the
equipment inoperable, for example by deleting files. If you are concerned
about the security risk that this poses, change the password. If Tait provides
support services, they will need to know the changed password.
Notice If you change the password and then lose it, the equipment
must be returned to Tait. Make sure that you store the password securely
and do not lose it.
The serial port uses the same password.
To change the root password, follow these steps:
1. Log in from your PC to the base station using SSH client software
such as PuTTY. The username is
root and the default password is
k1w1.
2. At the # prompt, enter the command
passwd.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Record the password in a secure location.
Tait networks are deployed with weak default passwords. For the sake
of security, Tait strongly recommends changing the default password
where applicable.
