SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 4 • Accessing the CLI

Accessing via a Telnet session

This is the most commonly used and recommended method for connecting to a SmartNode. It is way faster than console access.The Telnet host accesses the SmartNode via its network interface.

Note If the IP configuration of the Ethernet port (LAN port) is not known or is incorrectly configured, you will have to use the console interface.

Telnet Procedure

Before you begin to use the CLI to input configuration commands, do the following:

1.Set up the SmartNode as described in the getting started guide included with your SmartNode device.

2.Connect the host (PC) or hub to the SmartNode as described in the getting started guide.

3.Power on your SmartNode and wait until the Run LED lights.

4.Open a Telnet session to the IP address shown in the getting started guide.

5.Proceed with logging in.

Using an alternate TCP listening port for the Telnet server

The following command defines an alternate listening port for the telnet server.

Mode: Configure

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name](cfg)# terminal telnet port <port>	Uses TCP port <port> for accepting
		telnet connections

Disabling the Telnet server

The telnet server can be disabled using the following command.

Mode: Configure

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name](cfg)# no terminal telnet	Disables the telnet server

Logging on

Accessing your SmartNode via the local console port or via a Telnet session opens a login screen. The following description of the login process is based on a Telnet session scenario but is identical to that used when accessing via the local console port.

The opening Telnet screen you see resembles that shown in figure 7. The window header bar shows the IP address of the target SmartNode.

A factory preset administrator account with name administrator and an empty password is available when you first access the unit. For that reason, use the name administrator after the login prompt and simply press the <enter> key after the password prompt.
