1. Access the IPS-15 Command Mode: In order to invoke
commands or view status screens, you must first access the
IPS-15 Command Mode.
a) TelnetAccess: Start your Telnetprogram, then Telnet to
the IPS-15's default IP Address (192.168.168.168.) For
example, on a UNIX system, the telnet command would
be invoked as shown below.
$ telnet 192.168.168.168 [Enter]
If the System Password has been the IPS will display a
password prompt; key in the System Password and press
[Enter]. If the System Password has not been defined,
the IPS Plug Status Screen (Figure 3.3) should be
displayed, followed by the IPS> command prompt.
Note: If you wish to contact the IPS from a node that
is not on the same subnet you can either change your
PC's IP address to an address that is on the same subnet
as the IPS (e.g., 192.168.168.xxx), or access the IPS
command mode via modem or Console Port, and define
Network Parameters as described in Section 5.3.3.
b) Modem Access: Start your communications program, and
dial the number for the external modem. The IPS Plug
Status Screen (Figure 3.3) should be displayed, followed
by the IPS> command prompt.
c) Console Port Access (Local PC): Start your
communication program, make certain that it is set for the
PC COM port which is attached to the IPS, and then press
[Enter]. The IPS Plug Status Screen (Figure 3.3) should
be displayed, followed by the IPS> command prompt.
