EDS-510A Series User’s Manual | Getting Started |
Configuration using a Telnet Console
You may use Telnet to access the EDS-510A’s console utility over a network. To be able to access the EDS’s functions over the network (by Telnet or web browser) from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as the EDS-510A, you need to make sure that the PC host and the EDS-510A are on the same logical subnet. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default, the EDS-510A’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and the EDS-510A’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (for a Class C network). If you do not change these values, and your PC host’s subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.xxx.xxx. On the other hand, if your PC host’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.127.xxx.
NOTE | To use the EDS-510A’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the |
| same LAN as the EDS-510A, you must make sure that the PC host and the EDS-510A are |
| connected to the same logical subnet. |

NOTE | Before accessing the console utility via Telnet, first connect one of the EDS-510A’s RJ45 |
| Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet card (NIC). You can use |
| either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable. |

NOTE | The EDS-510A’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253. |

Perform the following steps to access the console utility via Telnet.
1.Click Start Æ Run, and then telnet to the EDS-510A’s IP address from the Windows Run window. (You may also issue the telnet command from the MS-DOS prompt.)
2.Type 1 to choose ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.
3.The Console login screen will appear. Press Enter to open the Account pop-up selector and then select either admin or user.
