      the rev. 1.2.3-RELEASE
      i do not have the 'null-modem'-cable

      from a security perspective, if you're
      connected, you're screwed.

        … also i'll have to say - i can't access to it via 'web-interface'

        from a security perspective, if you're
        connected, you're screwed.

          I'd say get a null modem cable.

          Alternatively reflash the whole thing and start from scratch.

            On 1.2.3 you'll need to use the serial console to access it to reset the config to default.

            On 2.0 you just need to hold in the little reset button for ~30s while it boots

              ok - tnx :: i did try out that 'reset button' with several limit of time, without
                              success - so i made a 'null-modem'

              from a security perspective, if you're
              connected, you're screwed.
