13.2 Telnet

The console is also accessible via a Telnet interface for remote administration
over Ethernet once the unit is communicating on the network. The Telnet
console uses well-known port 23. Note that although only 1 telnet console
session can be active at any given time, the telnet console and RS232 console
operate independently and can be used simultaneously.

13.2.1 Requirements

All that is needed is a computer with telnet software that can access the
interface over the Ethernet network. Telnet software is typically included as a
standard component of Microsoft Windows and other PC operating systems.

13.2.2 Connection

No special connections are required, other than the PC running the Telnet
application must be able to access the interface to be configured.

13.2.3 Application Configuration

Although any software vendor’s Telnet client application can be used, the
configuration example given here will use the Microsoft Windows Telnet
application. To start the Telnet application, simply type “telnet” at either a DOS
(command) prompt or in the “Start…Run” window. Once the telnet client
screen opens, the target device can be accessed simply by typing “open” at the
Telnet prompt with the interface’s IP address as an argument. Refer to Figure
8.
