Logging Into AI232
Log into AI232 with a Telnet connection or with any of AI232’s asynchronous ports
that are configured as Login ports.
Note: ai is the default user ID and password. AI232 prompts you to create a new
user ID and password after the fifth login with the default values. Refer to
command useradd on page 8-119 to create a new user ID and password.

Using a Telnet Connection for Login

Logging in using a Telnet connection requires that AI232 has a configured IP address.
If an IP address has not been configured, refer to Chapter 4: System Configuration to
assign an IP address.

of AI232.
3. Telnet to AI232. The login prompt appears.
Note: ai is the default user ID and password. There are five grace period logins.
If after the fifth login a new ID and password have not been created, AI232
prompts you to create a user ID and password. Use the useradd
command described in Chapter 8: AI232 Commands to create a user ID
and password.
4. Enter your user ID. The password prompt appears.
5. Enter your password. The destination menu appears. You are now logged into
AI232.
