VI - Using Telnet
You must assign the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II an IP address before using a Telnet
session (this is not necessary when you are using UMA). Refer to the
Assigning IP
Information
section for more information. All of the configurations that you can
perform from the serial port can also be performed using a Telnet session. You can
only use one Telnet session at a time.
The three levels for Telnet account access are:
•
User
–view status, change own password, and reboot.
•
Operator
–all User privileges mentioned above, plus ability to change
settings.
•
Administrator
–operator privileges mentioned above, plus ability to
add/delete accounts and reinitialize the unit to default settings (cleandb).

Telnet session configuration, and DHCP configuration.

Some screens may show TX and FX for the port titles where TX = DATA port and
FX = OPTICS (or UPLINK) port.

NOTE
The serial port is always set to Administrator level. Your password for Telnet
sessions is the password that you set and use in iConfig. Refer to iConfig on page
