Accessing the Settings Menu
You have two possibilities to access the Settings menu:
- On-Premise – Connecting a screen and a monitor directly to the server.
- Remote – Using the SSH connection (provided that the service has been previously enabled in the Security Settings menu).
Choose a method appropriate to your needs.
Accessing Settings Menu with a Monitor and a Keyboard
- Plug a VGA display monitor to the server.
- Plug a keyboard to an USB interface.
- Power ON the server.
When the server prompts you, log in to the server to view the server's Settings Menu. User credentials vary depending upon your firmware:

On a newly delivered unit, the password is defined by Haivision and provided in the plastic label available on the front panel of the server.
- Use the arrow keys to select IP Settings menu.
Accessing Settings Menu with Secure Shell (ssh) Session
Important
Prior to this connection:
- Ensure that the ssh service is enabled (please refer to Configuring Security Settings).
- You have the IP address of the server if connecting to the server on the same LAN.
To access the server's Settings menu through ssh connection, you have two options:
- Static IP – Connecting the computer directly to the server using the Ethernet port 2. In this case, both the server and the computer have a static IP address.
- LAN (DHCP) – Connecting the computer and the server to the same LAN. In this case, the network interfaces of both the server and the computer are configured on DHCP (server's Ethernet 1 interface default configuration). You need to know the IP address of the server.
