PIKA Forum FAQ

The WARP Pager supports SSH connectivity and also has a HTTP server running on the unit.

To connect via SSH simply use a common terminal emulator such as Putty.exe then login with username 'pager' and password 'pikapika'.

To connect to the web server simply enter the IP address of the WARP Pager into a common web browser such Internet Explorer or Firefox.

The login username is 'pager' and the default password is 'pikapika'.

In both cases you will be placed in the WARP Pagers log file directory. There will be a directory called 'current' which will have the latest pager.log file as well as the configuration files retrieved from the (T)FTP server or USB key.

A rotational log histroy that includes the last five reboots will be present in the following directory structure: current, current-1,.....current-5.

To change the default password on the Warp, please log in to the pager user account via SSH and enter the following:

passwd

Login into SSH and use the application http-config to configure the HTTP server. The syntax is as follows:

http-config [on] [off] [-h] [-u username] [-p password]

To activate the changes, you must restart the WARP Pager by typing sudo reboot at the Linux command prompt.
