Starting a Console Session Using Dialup

Chapter 3 Configuring the Device

5.(Optional) By default, the console times out and terminates automatically after 10 minutes of idle time. To change this timeout interval, execute the following command:

set console timeout number

where number is the length of idle time in minutes before session termination. To prevent any automatic termination, specify a value of 0.

Starting a Console Session Using Dialup

Each NetScreen-200 Series device provides a modem port that allows you to establish a remote console session using a dialup connection through a 9600 bps modem cabled to the modem port. Dialing into the modem establishes a dialup console connection.

Note: The Terminal type for dialup sessions must be vt100. For example, in Hilgreave HyperTerminal (a commonly-used terminal application), select Connect >> Remote System, then select vt100 from the Term Type menu.

Establishing a GUI Management Session

To access the NetScreen-200 Series device with the WebUI management application:

1.Connect your computer (or your LAN hub) to the ethernet1 port using a Category-5 Ethernet cable.

2.Launch your browser, enter the IP address of the ethernet1 interface in the URL field, and then press Enter.

For example, if you assigned the ethernet1 interface an IP address of 10.100.2.183/16, enter the following:

10.100.2.183

The NetScreen WebUI software displays the login prompt.

3.Enter netscreen in both the Admin Name and Password fields, then click Login. (Use lowercase letters only. The Admin Name and Password fields are both case sensitive.)
