freeView IP 800 User’s Manual

(or a similar emulation), it is possible to perform a console redirection as long as the host machine is using a text based operating system (e.g. Unix).

Connecting to the freeView IP 800 requires a telnet client on the local machine. To access the device, run the telnet program and specify the IP address of the unit. For example, if the unit’s IP address is 192.168.1.22, type in “telnet 192.168.1.22” in Unix or Windows. Once connected, the user will be prompted for username and password. The credentials for authentication are identical to those of the web interface.

Once the user has successfully logged into the device, a command line will be presented and the user can enter management commands.

The Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode and the terminal mode. The command line mode is used to control or display device parameters. In terminal mode the connection is made from the local machine to the device connected to the serial port on the unit (if the serial settings are set correctly). All user input on the local machine are redirected to the device connected to the serial port and the response is displayed on the Telnet interface.

The following list shows the commands available in mode command and their usage.

Command	Description
help	Displays the list of available commands
cls	Clears the screen
quit	Exits the current session and disconnects from the client
version	Displays the release information
terminal	Starts the terminal pass-through mode for the serial port. The key sequence “esc
	exit” switches back to the command mode. The command has an optional
	parameter (1 or 2) to select the desired serial port for pass-through access (only
	number 1 is supported at this time).
