Ethernet control enables you to use a Telnet session to control Quadra using a command line interface. Quadra includes an internal Telnet server which works with standard Telnet clients. A Telnet client is included as a standard item with Windows® operating systems.

Note

If your system cannot locate the Telnet client during the

 

following procedure, there is a most likely a “path”

 

problem. Using Windows Explorer on your PC, search for

 

for “Telnet.” Once located, create a desktop shortcut to it.

 

 

Use the following steps to control Quadra via Ethernet:

1.Ensure that Quadra’s Ethernet port is connected to your PC by one of two methods:

~Peer-to-peer connection Quadra is connected directly to your PC, using an Ethernet crossover cable. In Appendix C, see the “Ethernet Connector” section for details.

~Network connection Quadra is connected to your LAN, Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch using a standard Ethernet cable.

2.On your PC, launch a command window by clicking Start > Run. In the Run Dialog, type:

cmd

and click OK.

3.In the command window, type: telnet <ipaddress> 8000

where <ipaddress> represents the current IP address of your Quadra and 8000 represents the communications port.

Important

Please note the following important points:

 

 

~If you are connecting peer-to-peerand you have not changed Quadra’s IP address, use 192.168.1.200, Quadra’s default IP address.

~If you are connecting peer-to-peeror via network, and you do not know Quadra’s IP address (or if you want to change the IP address), please refer to the “IP Address Setup” section in Appendix B.
