EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual

Getting Started

Configuration Using a Telnet Console

You may use Telnet to access the EDS’s console utility over a network. To be able to access the EDS’s functions over the network (using Telnet or a Web Browser) from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as the EDS, you need to make sure that the PC host and the EDS are on the same logical sub network. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and netmask. By default, the EDS’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and the EDS’s netmask is 255.255.0.0 (for a Class B network). If you do not change these values, and your PC host’s netmask is 255.255.0.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.xxx.xxx. On the other hand, if your PC host’s netmask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.127.xxx.

NOTE

To use the EDS’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the same

 

LAN as the EDS, you must make sure that the PC host and the EDS are on the same logical sub

 

network.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

Before accessing the console utility via Telnet, first connect one of the ED’s RJ45 Ethernet ports

 

to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet NIC. You can establish a connection

 

with either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable. If you have difficulty connecting, refer

 

to the Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection section from the Hardware installation Guide for more

 

information about the different types of Ethernet cables and ports.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

The EDS’s default IP is 192.168.127.253.

 

 

Perform the following steps to access the console utility via Telnet.

1.Telnet to the EDS’s IP address from the Windows Run window (or from the command prompt).

2.Type 1 to choose ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.
