h1. How to acquire root access

h3. Physical console

You can always enter under _root_ on the server, if you have physical access to the server.
Attach monitor and keyboard to server.
When you'll see a prompt on the screen:

bq. login:

...enter _root_.
When you'll see on the screen prompt:

bq. password:

... enter password, which you have supplied when installed the system.

h3. SSH console.

To obtain login and password to access server via SSH please apply to technical support of *Streamco*.
When applying please tell your IP address, from which you will enter.
Technical support will add this IP address to a list of allowed addresses.
To get your IP address please go to link https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=cr#bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&fp=442bdad5c6096e1d&q=what+is+my+ip

Consider you have the following credentials:

bq. IP address of a server with Smartswitch: 10.0.0.1
SSH login on a server: admin
SSH password on a server: admin

To access server and acquire _root_ rights you need to perform next steps:

1. Download _putty_ application (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)

2. Launch _putty_ application, enter 10.0.0.1 in address field.
When it will prompt to enter login, enter admin.
When it will prompt to enter password, enter admin.

3. Acquire _root_ rights:
<pre>
# sudo -s
</pre>

*Notice!* You may have not full _root_ access, but only an access to a specific set of commands.
In this case 'sudo -s' won't work.
You'll need to add 'sudo ' before each command from the instructions.
For example,

<pre>
sudo asterisk -r
</pre>

This means that you execute 'asterisk' on behalf of _root_.
