EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Getting Started

Configuration by Telnet Console

You may use Telnet to access EDS-726’s console utility over a network. To be able to access EDS’s functions over the network (by Telnet or Web Browser) from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as EDS-726, you need to make sure that the PC host and EDS-726 are on the same logical subnetwork. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default, EDS-726’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and EDS-726’s subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 (for a Class B network). If you do not change these values, and your PC host’s subnet mask 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 subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.127.xxx.

NOTE	To use EDS-726’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the same
	LAN as EDS-726, you must make sure that the PC host and EDS-726 are on the same logical
	subnetwork.
NOTE	Before accessing the console utility via Telnet, first connect one of EDS-726’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.
NOTE	EDS-726’s default IP is 192.168.127.253.
