USER GUIDE
Figure 20 Telnet Console
Connect to IP Link in the usual way required by the Telnet client, e.g. in a UNIX
shell: telnet 192.168.0.220 – (The IP address has been replaced by the one that
is actually assigned to IP Link).
Type a username and password when prompted. These are identical to those of the
Web interface. The user management of the Telnet interface is controlled just like
the Web interface.
Once logged in, the command line appears to type management commands.
The interface supports both the command line and terminal modes. The command
line mode is used to control or display some parameters. In terminal mode the
passthrough access to the Serial port is activated (if the serial settings were made
accordingly). All inputs are redirected to the device on the Serial port and the
answers appear on the Telnet interface.
Modem
IP Link has the option of remote access using a telephone line. Connect the modem
to IP Link’s serial interface. Using a telephone line means building up a dedicated
point to point connection from your console computer to the IP Link. The IP Link
acts as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to which you can dial in. The connection is
established using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
Before connecting to IP Link, configure your console computer accordingly. For
instance on Windows based operating systems you can configure a dial-up network
connection, which defaults to the right settings like PPP. The modem settings are
part of serial settings panel (see the section above).
When connecting a modem fill in the following parameters:
Serial line speed - Most modems today will support the default value of 115200
bps. For older modems lower the speed.
