The alternate to using MetaConnect and your local telnet client is to
download the open source jcterm Java terminal applet into your browser
to connect to the ECS0016 and attached serial port devices. However
jcterm does have some JRE compatibility issues which may prevent it
from loading.

Select

1.

Manage: Terminal. The jcterm Java applet is downloaded from

the ECS0016 to your browser and the virtual terminal will be displayed.

Select

2.

File > Open SHELL Session from the jcterm menu to access

the command line using SSH

To access the ECS0016’s command line enter the gateway’s

TCP address (e.g. 192.168.254.198) as hostname and the User
name (e.g. [email protected], then enter the Password)

To access the ECS0016’s serial ports append :serial to the
username e.g. with the gateway’s TCP address (e.g.
192.168.254.198), the Username (e.g. root) enter
root:[email protected], then enter the Password and select
the TCP Port address for the serial port to be accessed. By default
3001 is selected (i.e. Port 1). To access Port 4 for example, this must
be changed to 3004 for the Username
Port Log Management
Administrator and Users can view logs of data transfers to connected

displayed.

chapter describes getting command line access and using the config tool
to manage the system and configure the ports etc. from the command
line:
