Telnet or Telnet/SSL access

To access the command-line interface via a Telnet or Telnet/SSL client:

1.Enable the Telnet or Telnet/SSL server on the VPN 3002. (They are both enabled by default on the private network.) See the Configuration System Management Protocols Telnet screen on the Manager.

2.Start the Telnet or Telnet/SSL client, and connect to the VPN 3002 using these parameters:

Host Name or Session Name = The IP address on the VPN 3002 private interface; e.g., 10.10.147.2 Port = Telnet (default Telnet port is 23, Telnet/SSL port is 992)

Terminal Type = VT100 or ANSI

Note Telnet/SSL: If the client offers it, enable both SSL and SSL only.

3.The VPN 3002 displays a login prompt.

Login: _

Starting the Command-line Interface

You start the command-line interface by logging in.

Login usernames and passwords for both console and Telnet access are the same as those configured and enabled for administrators. See the Administration Access Rights Administrators screen. By default, only admin is enabled.

This example uses the factory-supplied default admin login and password. If you have changed them, use your entries.

At the prompts, enter the administrator login name and password. Entries are case-sensitive.

Login: admin

Password: admin (The CLI does not show your entry.)

The CLI displays the opening welcome message, the main menu, and the Main ->prompt.
