Configuration
To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:
Note: Command mode cannot be accessed via a Buffer Mode Port, Passive
Mode Port, or any port that is presently connected to another RSM port.
1. Contact the RSM Unit:
a) Via Local PC: Start your communications program and press [Enter]. Wait
for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.
b) Via Network: The RSM includes a default IP address (192.168.168.168) and a
default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) This allows you to contact the unit from
any network node on the same subnet, without first assigning an IP Address to
the unit. For more information, please refer to Section 5.8.
i. Via SSH Client: Start your SSH client, and enter the RSM’s IP Address.
Invoke the connect command, wait for the connect message, then
proceed to Step 2.
ii. Via Telnet: Start your Telnet Client, and then Telnet to the RSM’s IP
Address. Wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.
Note: When communicating with the unit for the first time, you will not be able
to contact the unit via Telnet, until you have accessed command mode, via
Local PC or SSH Client, and used the Network Parameters Menu (/N) to enable
Telnet as described in Section 5.8.
c) Via Modem: Use your communications program to dial the number for the line
connected to the RSM’s Phone Line port.
2. Login / Password Prompt: A message will be displayed, which prompts you to
enter a username (login name) and password. The default username is "super" (all
lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also "super".
