 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NXC-8160

NXC-8160 User’s Guide

Use any of the following methods to manage the NXC-8160.

• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NXC-8160 

using a (supported) web browser.

• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service 

engineers.

• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this 

User’s Guide.

Do the following things regularly to make the NXC-8160 more secure and to manage the 
NXC-8160 more effectively.

• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of 

different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

"

If you forgot the password, you cannot restore the defaults and need to contact 
your vendor or customer support.

• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an 

earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even 
crashes. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-
configure the NXC-8160. You could simply restore your last configuration.
