2.3. Accessing Console Port
There are two ways to access console port of the LS100 depending on whether the user is located at a local site or a remote site.
- Serial console:
Local users can connect directly to the serial console port of the LS100 using serial console/data cable
- Remote console:
Remote users can make a telnet connection to the remote console port (port 23) of the LS100 via TCP/IP network.
Both methods require the user to log into the LS100 in order to continue.
