Getting Started

Welcome to n-Command® MSP.

The n-Command MSP Server comes preloaded with the n-Command MSP software. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1. The default login user name is admin and the password is adtran. There are just a few tasks to perform before you can start using the system to manage devices on your network. Log into the system and complete the following steps to get started:

Step 1. Generate a new license, if you have not already done so. The system will prompt you to generate a license upon logging into the server for the first time. The license can also be generated by selecting License Information from the Settings menu in the upper right corner of any menu within the system. Refer to License Information for detailed instructions for generating the license. You will need to register a username and password at http://www.adtran.com to access the ADTRAN support website for this step.

Step 2. Change the admin password. It is strongly recommended that you change the admin password. You will be prompted the first time you log into the system but you can also change the password at any time from the Users tab. Follow the steps described in Changing a User's Password.

Step 3. Configure the Network Settings for your specific network. All the necessary network settings can be configured by accessing the Network Settings menu from Settings in the upper right corner of any menu within the system. If the system doesn't prompt you to change these settings upon the initial login, refer to Changing Network Settings for specific instructions.

Step 4. Edit the default Device Access credentials. One feature of the n-Command MSP software is its ability to automatically discover devices on your network. In order to successfully discover devices, you must complete two tasks. First, change the default Device Access credentials that the system uses to connect with the devices. Navigate to the Devices tab and select Manage Access. Select the default entry from the list, and make the necessary changes to the entry and choose Save. Refer to Changing or Setting Manage Access Parameters for more information. Second, enable auto-link on your AOS device. This process is detailed in the Configuring Auto-Link for AOS and n-Command MSP Quick Configuration Guide (article number 3098) available online at http://kb.adtran.com.
