Using Telnet

CHAPTER 11: USING TELNET

Telnet can be used to configure the Serial Server from any PC on the LAN. The Telnet window displays the same configuration information shown in Console Mode and allows server properties to be configured.

Note:

See Chapter 5 for details on Server Properties.

Configuration Using Telnet

Step 1: Ensure the PC and Serial Server are connected to the LAN.

Step 2: Apply power to the Serial Server. The power and ready LED will light.

Step 3: Ensure Serial Server is in Run Mode. If the Run/Console switch is in the Console position, switch it to the Run position. The Serial Server will revert to the operational mode it was in before the switch was set to Console.

Step 4: From the Desktop, click Start, then Run. The Run dialogue box will open.

Step 5: Type in Telnet and the IP address of the Serial Server to be configured, then click OK.
