Senatek LS100 manual Accessing Console Port, Using Serial Console

2.3. Accessing Console Port

There are two ways to access console port of the LS100 depending on whether the user is located at a local site or a remote site.

- Serial console:

- Remote console:

Remote users can make a telnet connection to the remote console port (port 23) of the LS100 via TCP/IP network.

Both methods require the user to log into the LS100 in order to continue.
