Tips and Tricks

Enabling ssh

If your firmware is version 01.00.14 or later (and you should update anyway!), you can easily enable SSH without any hacks! Simply log into the web administrative interface.

Click on the Advanced link in the upper right to enable more selections.
Select the System TAB
Select Advanced ICON
Now click on Enable SSH
After SSH is enabled you can login as either 'admin' with the admin password (default is 'admin'). You can also login as root using 'welc0me' as the initial password.
Once you have logged in as root, you can change the password from the default using the 'passwd' command.
If you make other users in the web interface, they can log in via ssh, but must put their username in all-caps ("USERNAME" not "username").

If for any reason you cannot update to a recent version, go here to find your way to ssh.
