D-Link DES-5200 manual Telnet Management, Configuring Through the Ethernet Port

Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide

Telnet Management

You can manage the DES-5200 via Telnet session. However, first you must assign a unique IP address to the DES-5200. Use Console Management to log into the DES-5200 for the first time so that you can assign an IP address. Once you have assigned an IP address to the DES-5200, you can use the management method of your choice.

Telnet management can be done through any of the ports on the switch. You can use any Telnet application that emulates a VT100 terminal. You must install TCP/IP on the workstation before using Telnet. Only one Telnet session can be active at a time.

Configuring Through the Ethernet Port

Follow these steps to manage the DES-5200 through a Telnet session:

1.Assign an IP address to the DES-5200.

2.Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports on the DES-5200.

3.Attach the other end of the cable to a workstation.

4.Access the DES-5200 through Telnet.

5.Log into the DES-5200 using your user name and password.

The Telnet session will timeout after five minutes. Any changes that have not been saved are lost. Press Enter to reconnect after a timeout.
