Unlock Server

The Unlock Server function is used to open a password protected switch so that the user can modify its

configuration, import/export a configuration, and perform other procedures. There are six possible responses

under the Status column. The Status of a Moxa switch indicates how Moxa EtherDevice Switch Configurator

located the switch, and what type of password protection it has.

The six options are as follows (note that the term Fixed is borrowed from the standard fixed IP address

networking terminology):

• Locked

The switch is password protected, Broadcast Search was used to locate it, and the password has not yet

been entered from within the current Configurator session.

• Unlocked

The switch is password protected, Broadcast Search was used to locate it, and the password was entered

from within the current Configurator session. Henceforth during this Configurator session, activating

various utilities for this switch will not require re-entering the server password.

• Blank

The Moxa switch is not password protected, and Broadcast Search was used to locate it.

Follow the steps given below to unlock a locked Moxa switch (i.e., Moxa switch with Status “Locked” or “Locked

Fixed”). Highlight the server (from the Moxa EtherDevice Switch list in the Configurator window’s left pane),

and then click the Unlock toolbar icon , or select Unlock from the Configuration menu.

1. Enter the switch’s User Name and Password when prompted, and then click OK.

2. When the Unlock status window indicates the Progress as OK, click the Close button in the upper right

corner of the window.

3. The status of the switch will now be shown as Unlocked.
