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Link in the usual way required by the Telnet client, e.g. in a UNIX shell: telnet 192.168.0.220 – (The IP address has been replaced by the one that is actually assigned to IP Link).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.
