4-1 Remote Control

Menu Options

Replace the IP address with the one that was assigned to the RIPM during installation. You will then be prompted for the username and password information in order to log in to the device. The credentials that need to be entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface. That means the user management of the Telnet interface is entirely controlled with the appropriate functions of the web interface. Once you have successfully logged in to the RIPM, a command line will be presented and you can enter the appropriate management commands. In general, the Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command-line mode and the terminal mode. The command-line mode is used to control or display some parameters. In terminal mode, the pass-through access to serial port 1 is activated (if the serial settings were made correctly). To access the RIPM via serial interface, a null modem cable is required. All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port 1, and its answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.

The following list shows the command syntax and usage.
