First device access & network configuration

The unit's management port is initially set to DHCP, and can be accessed with the following default credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: Adminadmin1

Note: Make sure to change the default credentials as soon as possible.

If the unit is deployed on a network without a DHCP server, it is possible to configure the unit's network settings by accessing it via the serial connection using the credentials above.

Connect through the serial port using the following settings: 115200 baud rate, 8 bit, no parity, 1 bit stop. Login using the credentials in the previous section.

Edit the network configuration using the following command:

.system.network.set

Depending on user requirements, the IP can be set to either dynamic (DHCP) or static (custom IP). Follow the instructions to configure the preferred option (see command line reference).

Example command for dynamic IP configuration:

.system.network.set --type dhcp_v4

Example command for static IP configuration:

.system.network.set --type static --ip 10.10.10.2 --prefix 24 --gateway 10.10.10.1 --dns 1.1.1.1 --hostname x2npb1

After the configuration is complete, the system is accessible through the network via SSH and X2-Manager (web-based interface) at: https://<ip_addr>

X2-Series devices can also be connected directly to a computer through the Ethernet management port. In this case, manual IP policy must be applied to both the unit and the computer.

Note: If the computer network interface is limited to 10/100 Mbps, a special twisted pair cable must be used instead of a normal patch cable.

For security reasons, an SSL certificate is pre-installed. This certificate can be replaced with a new one in the Administration > Setup > HTTPS Certificate section of the X2-Manager GUI.
