The fields are:
New Password Type the new password you want to use.
Confirm Password Retype the password for confirmation.
Clear Button Clears the New Password and Confirm Password fields
so that you can retype your new password if you make a mistake
when typing into those fields.
If you change the password, a message appears informing you that
the Web browser can no longer access the stack (this is because the
Web browser is still using the old password). If you click OK to accept
the message, the password panel appears so you can enter the new
password to re-access the stack.
System Name
This page allows you to enter a name for the stack. Use a descriptive
name, for example ‘First floor stack’.
The name that you specify for the stack appears on some of the
command line interface and web interface pages.
Configuration Pages
This section describes the fields that appear on the pages in the
Configuration category. The first page displayed is the Initialize page.
Initialize
This page is used to initialize the stack. Initializing the stack causes it
to return to its factory default settings, and the stack is reset. You
may want to do this if the stack has been previously used in a
different part of your network, and its settings are incorrect for its
new environment.
CAUTION: Initializing the stack removes all configuration
information including resilient links and passwords (you will need to
use the default password to re-access the stack). However, IP, SLIP
and default router information is retained to ensure you can continue
management communication with the stack over the network.
If you have any resilient link set up for the stack, you may experience
network loops after the initialize.
