Telnet
AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO INTERFACE
A terminal-style configuration
is available via
Telnet.
Use any
standard
Telnet
client application and specify the IP address of
the device as the server with which to connect. The factory
default port is well-known
Telnet server port 23
.
The following sections provide basic descriptions of using the
Telnet
interface of the network device. Please refer to the
previous
Using WinDiscovery
sections (p. 14) for additional
details and important operational information regarding the
special features and modes of the network device.
TO INITIATE A TELNET SESSION
Select the [
Run
] command-line interface from the Start menu
and enter the command “
telnet
” followed by a space, and
then
the IP address
of the unit and click [
OK
].
At the password prompt, type the password and press the
[
Enter
] or[
Return
] key.
The factory default for password is:
“public.”
To initiate commands,
type the command name desired and
press the [
Enter
] or [
Return
] key to see a listing of available
commands, type “
help
” at the prompt.
Configuration via
Telnet
may not be
convenient for devices operating
with a factory default configuration
since the IP address is not known.
Use the
WinDiscovery
application to
establish first-time networking
configuration.
For security purposes, the Telnet
interface can be disabled. When
disabled, you will no longer be able
to access the device with Telnet.
To re-enable the Telnet feature, one
of the other configuration methods
must be used, or the device must be
reset to factory default.
If you are not familiar with Telnet,
ask your network administrator for
assistance.
Current configuration or default
answers are displayed in brackets.
Depressing the [
Enter
] or [
Return
]
key with no number or letter will
retain the current setting.
