Getting Started

Connecting to the MES1A/B

Before configuration can occur you must set up a telnet connection with the MES1A/B to access the Configuration Menu. You can access the Configuration Menu using a standard telnet window, or use the telnet implementation within the Device Installer software. The Device Installer option provides an all-in-one user interface for working with the MES1A/B

To connect:

3.Select the Telnet Configuration tab. The tab shows the IP Address of the MES1A/B and the Port Number used to communicate with it via telnet. The rest of the window is blank.

4.Click Connect to connect to the MES1A/B. When a connection is established the following window appears, which contains information on the MAC address and Software version of the MES1A/B.
