Eicon Networks 2440 Command Line Interface CLI, Establishing a Telnet Connection, Prerequisites

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The command line interface provides you with access to all Diva 2440 parameters. Some advanced parameters are only accessible via this interface.

Prerequisites

To access the CLI, you will require:

•Telnet software for an IP connection (for Windows, Telnet or HyperTerminal).

•Connection via an Ethernet or USB port.

•System password to log on, if required (see Login Password on page 43).

Establishing a Telnet Connection

Make sure that you are using VT100 terminal emulation, otherwise the command line interface may not display properly on your screen and certain keys will not function correctly.

1.Start your Telnet software. (If you are running Window, you can click ‘Start’, ‘Run’, type ‘TELNET’, and press Enter.)

2.Connect to the address 192.168.1.1.

Note: The address 192.168.1.1 is the default assigned to the Diva CD-ROM. If you have changed the default address, use the new address.

3.A welcome message appears on your screen. It will include a request to enter a password.

Note: The above example uses the telnet software included with Windows NT and 2000. The screen was brought up by entering the command telnet 192.168.1.1 at a DOS prompt.

4.Type the appropriate password and press Enter.

5.The Diva 2440 displays the command line prompt ‘>’. The Diva 2440 is now ready to accept your commands.
