Is this information documented anywhere. I assume you must be locally connected, but when you hit F1 while it's reloading, what password do you then have to use to gain access to the 8210? Thanks Subject: Re: MSS Password Content: the default password is "mss", this password allowed you to get to the firmware menu. As for recovering the password for your Operation Code --- I don't think there is a way. Subject: Re: MSS Password Content: Drop me a note at atm-lan-wan@excite.com then I will help you out. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world:- Those who understand binary & those who don't.
