4.3. Upgrade by Telnet Command
Telnet is another way you can access the gateway, assuming it has given you
permission. More technically, Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP
protocol for accessing remote network devices. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols
allow you to request specific files from remote network devices, but not to actually be
logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with
whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific application and data on
that device. Telnet is most likely to be used by program developers and anyone who
has a need to use specific applications or data located at a particular host.
A Telnet command request looks like this: telnet 192.168.1.8
We will show you how to use the telnet command to do the upgrade firmware under
Windows OS. For the Linux OS users, please check your OS manual or ask the
network administrator for the help.
