Connection Modes

Telnet (as well as FTP, IWS, and SNMP) can be disabled for security purposes. If you cannot login to the appliance, check that Telnet is enabled. Go to Configuration: System > Security > External Telnet Server.

Connecting with HyperTerminal

VBrick's command line interface is simple, intuitive, and menu driven. To manage an appliance with HyperTerminal, connect the included cable (which provides a standard 9-pin serial connection) from the serial port on the computer to the VBrick's COM2 RJ-45 connector. To access the VBrick using HyperTerminal go to Start > Programs >

Accessories > Communication > HyperTerminal. Connect through your computer’s

Communications Port (usually COM1).

Upon connection to a terminal (9600 bps Async, 8-bit, no parity, flow control = none), a prompt for login (username) and password will be displayed. (Ethernet VBricks also support Telnet. The display is identical to that of a local terminal.) Login and password are case sensitive (admin). Once logged in, the main menu will appear by typing a question mark (?) at the VBrick> prompt.
