6.1. Access the NPS-2HD Command Mode

Commands can be sent to the NPS-2HD via Network or modem, or from a local PC connected to the Console Port. To access the Command Mode, proceed as follows:

Note: Only one port can access command mode at a given time. When you have finished communicating with the unit, always make certain to disconnect using the /X command. When the Console Port or Modem Port are busy, you will not be able to access the command mode via the Network Port. For more information, please refer to Section 6.8.

1.Contact the NPS:

a)Via Network: Telnet to the NPS unit's IP Address. For example, if the IP Address is 192.1.1.1, on a UNIX system the Telnet command would be as follows:

$ telnet 192.1.1.1 [Enter]

Notes:

￿In order to contact the NPS via telnet, you must first define the unit's Network Parameters as described in Section 5.6.

￿If the Telnet connection to the NPS is refused, this may mean that the unit is busy, or that the IP Security feature has denied the connection.

b)Via Modem: Start your communications program (e.g. HyperTerminal). Dial the external modem connected to the NPS, then wait for the Connect Message.

c)Via Console Port: Start your communications program and press [Enter].

2.Password: If the System password has been defined, a prompt will be displayed. Key in your System or User Password, and press [Enter].

3.Disconnect: To end the session, type /X and press
