Accessing the Command Line from a Locally-Connected Terminal

Use this procedure to access the command line and the configuration from a terminal connected to one of the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4’s serial ports.

1.Connect a terminal or PC to a serial port on the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4.

For a terminal, use the cable that came with your package.

For a Windows Hyperterminal connection, use the cable that came in the package, a straight- through DB25-to-DB9 modem cable, and gender changers as required.

2.Configure the parameters of the terminal or terminal emulation software to work with the Digi serial port. The default port settings are:

VT 100 emulation

9600 baud

8-bit character

1 stop bit

No parity

3.Log in as the root user. The default password is dbps.

telnet ip-address

where ip-addressis the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4’s IP address Example: telnet 192.3.23.5

2.Log in as the root user. The default password is dbps.

Accessing the Configuration from the Web Interface
