Steps:

  1. Open an ssh client session to logon to the Sensor.

  2. At the login prompt, enter the default username admin and password admin123. The number of login attempts to the Sensor from a client, on a single connection, is set to 3, after which the connection is closed.

    Note

    The number of login attempts to the Sensor can differ based on the ssh client that you are using. You can get 3 login attempts with certain clients (for example, Putty release 0.54, Putty release 0.56, etc.), or you can get 4 login attempts with other clients (for example, Putty release 0.58, Linux ssh clients, etc.).
