Administrative Tasks at the System Level

To start the unit, plug the mains cable into the power outlet. After
the boot procedure finishes (which takes about 20 seconds), the
unit is fully operational.
Changing Passwords
For security reasons, Adcon recommends that you change the
password of your gateway. The unit comes from the factory with
only two users: root and adv. The root user is intended only for
administrative tasks, while adv is used by the addVANTAGE
software. The password for root is 840sw and for adv it is
addvantage. It is highly recommended that you change both
passwords; however, if you do so, be sure to keep the new
passwords in a secure location.
Complete the following steps to change the root password:
1. Log into the gateway as root, as described in the first step of
“Stopping and Starting the Telemetry Gateway” on page 54.
2. At the login prompt, type passwd.
3. The system prompts you to enter a new password:
Changing password for root.
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of
8 characters).
Please use a combination of upper and lower case
letters and numbers.
Enter new password:
4. After you enter the new password, the system prompts you to
reenter it to be sure that you didn’t mistype it. Reenter the
password:
Re-enter new password:
Password changed.
To change the password for the user adv, the steps are the same,
except that you start with:
passwd adv
If you do change the password for the user adv, you must also
change it in addVANTAGE. To do this, edit the agroexp.ini file.
Find the section [Communication], which has the following entries:
User=adv
Password=addvantage
