5) Change Telnet port (23) –
This will enable the end user to set up a port that the
company does not block (e.g. port 80 or even port 25). That means that you
will be able to telnet into the FaxReceiver from your desk, enable debug, send
a fax to the unit (also from your desk), and figure out what is going wrong. If
you change the TELNET port number and don't reboot, the new number takes
effect on the *second* new telnet session. i.e. open telnet on default port
23. Change to port 1234 and do a quit/save. Open another telnet session,
still on port 23, and quit. All following telnet sessions must be on port 1234.
P) Change Telnet password – If you do not change this, anyone can
access the unit
and change the settings
. Max 253 characters. For the telnet password, all ASCII
and non-ASCII characters may be used except control characters (those with HEX
codes below 0x20). Note however that some telnet clients will modify or not pass
non-ASCII characters, or may treat them as control commands for the telnet program
rather than passing them on, so best to stick with standard keyboard letters, numbers
and punctuation marks. Accented characters on non-English keyboards may also be
used without problem. Not required.
NOTE: passwords are case-sensitive.
The FaxReceiver defaults to having no telnet password (factory reset).
!) Redirect debug to this screen – This allows you to activate a troubleshooting tool. When
activated, telnet will not timeout. More on this screen in the
troubleshooting
section.
When you have completed your changes, press Q to Quit.
Q) Quit
It will respond:
“Do you want to save your changes before quitting (Y/N)”
If you will enter y it will save your parameters and report: “All changes saved.
Goodbye”.
The Telnet connection will then be dropped.
If you will enter n it will not save your parameters and report: “Quitting
WITHOUT saving changes. Goodbye”.
The Telnet connection will then be
dropped.
NOTE: If you select n it will keep the parameters until the next power cycle or
reboot. This will allow you to test the new parameters before saving them.
