Initial Login – The Broadmore is shipped with a default username and password
for logging in the first time. A SuperUser should log in the first time to configure
the Broadmore for secure operation.
For maximum security, perform the following steps:
(1) configure IP access (via ethernet, LANE, or CIP)
(2) create a temporary SuperUser account
(4) delete the public SYSADMIN account and log out
(5) after logging in securely, you can safely create user accounts and configure
the Broadmore for secure operation.

Potential Security Vulnerabilities
(1) The Broadmore accepts loose source routed IP packets, so it is recommended
that source routed packets be dropped on routers and firewalls. (See
manufacturer’s instructions.)
(2) The Broadmore RS-232 COM 1 serial port used for “Craft Access” does not
immediately terminate a management session if a user disconnects without typing
“exit”. During the following timeout period, another user can connect without
logging into the RS-232 port and other users are denied access through the
ethernet port. It is recommended that all accounts be created with “Remote
Access” only, except for one failsafe SuperUser account with “Craft Access.”
The craft password should be stored safely in the NOC. When needed, the
SuperUser can log into the craft port, fix things, change the password, log out,
and store the new password back in the NOC.
