Access via a Telnet Session
4
When you use a program such as Telnet, you can access the
configuration of your WaveLAN/EC-S from either:
■
A computer terminal connected directly to the WaveLAN/EC-S
device via the Ethernet 10Base-T interface (see page 4-4).
■
A remote computer terminal via the WaveLAN interface of the
WaveLAN/EC-S device (see page 4-5).
In the second scenario, the remote computer could either be a
wired or wireless terminal, as long as it can access the
WaveLAN/EC-S device via a WavePOINT-II access point.
The Telnet application is a standard program that is shipped with
most operating systems. It uses the Internet standard TCP/IP
networking protocol to connect to your WaveLAN/EC-S device. To
allow remote access to the device, each WaveLAN/EC-S device
must be assigned a unique IP Address.
NOTE:
The IP Address to access the built-in configuration tool is a
different IP Address value than the one normally used for
communication between computing devices in networking
environments that use the TCP/IP protocol.
For example if your network uses TCP/IP for standard
network operation, you will see that stations connected to
WaveLAN/EC-S devices may need two IP Address values:
■
One IP Address assigned to the Ethernet interface of
the computer (either assigned manually, or
automatically by DHCP or BootP servers).
■
One IP Address assigned to the WaveLAN/EC-S
device (typically assigned manually by the LAN
Administrator installing the WaveLAN/EC-S device).
