Remote Connections
The recommended method for remotely connecting to a command line shell in the terminal is to use SSH.
On Windows platforms the free program PuTTY can be used.
Using TELNET
To start TELNET, use a command of the form:
$ telnet <ip-address>
specifying the IP address of the terminal to connect to. For example:
$ telnet 192.168.1.10
Once a connection has been initiated, you are prompted to log in to the terminal. You are prompted for a
login name and a password. The user name is root and by default no password is set (just press Return
when prompted).
(none) login : root
Password :
Note: For details of setting up a password see
“The Login Password” on page 26
.
Once you are logged in, shell commands may be run.
Note: The TELNET service must be enabled as part of the terminal configuration. See
.
Using RS-232
The log-in messages are the same as the TELNET session.
Note: In order to connect using RS-232 a specialist cable assembly is required.
Using SSH
The log-in messages are the same as the TELNET session.
Note: The SSH service must be enabled as part of the terminal configuration. See
