Appendix A: Accessing the Command-Line Interface

Access through a Telnet Session

To access the modem through a LAN-side telnet session, ensure that the management PC is on the same IP subnet as the modem (see “Accessing the Web Interface for Modem Management” on page 7); you will specify the LAN port IP address (default LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0) for access. To access the modem through a WAN-side telnet session, ensure that at least one WAN session has been set up for the modem; you will specify the IP address set up for that WAN session for access.

Although you can have concurrent telnet and console port sessions to the command-line interface, you can make changes through only one of the interfaces at a time.

Below is an example using the telnet application in Microsoft Windows 98 SE to access the modem command-line interface:

1From the Start button, select Run to display the Run dialog. Or, open your telnet application

2In the Open box, enter the telnet command and the modem IP address (for example, 10.0.0.1), then click OK. The Windows telnet dialog is displayed.
