NDU Local Login

• After all hardware has been connected, switch the
  NDU on by pressing the front panel power button.
  The NDU monitor should display the typical PC
  boot dialog and then the Linux boot dialog.
• After the Linux boot has completed, a login
  prompt should be displayed ndu Login.
• Type "root" (without the quotes and no uppercase
  letters) for the initial login.
• Press the Enter key. You will be prompted for a
  password.
• Type "acmndu" (without the quotes no uppercase
  letters) and press the Enter key. This will
  produce a Linux command line prompt root_at_NDU
  root.
• Now type "startx" (without the quotes and no
  uppercase letters) and press the Enter key. This
  will launch the "Windows-like" KDE Desktop.
• Verify that the mouse is functional by moving it
  and observing that the mouse pointer moves
  appropriately on the display. Put the mouse
  pointer on the Netscape browser icon (looks like
  a ship's steering wheel, located in the bottom
  middle quadrant of the screen) and press the
  mouse left button to launch Netscape.
• The browser should automatically redirect to
  192.168.0.1, display the EAS/ACM Gateway Page and
  then the NDU Login Page. If the browser does not
  redirect automatically type "192.168.0 .1"
  (without the quotes) in the browser address box
  and press Enter.
• You then need to login again on the NDU login
  page. Type "Admin" (without the quotes, uppercase
  A and remaining letters lower case) as the
  default user name, and "acmndu" (without the
  quotes no uppercase letters) as the password. Put
  the mouse pointer on the login button and press
  the left mouse button. You can now proceed to
  configure the NDU.
