This chapter explains how to access PT-7728’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration functions. These functions can be accessed by serial, Telnet, or web console. The serial console can be used if you do not know PT-7728’s IP address and requires that you connect the PT-7728 to a PC COM port. The Telnet and web consoles can be opened over an Ethernet LAN or the Internet.
The web console is the most user-friendly way to configure PT-7728. In this chapter, we use the web console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the web console, serial console, and Telnet console.
