Remote Connection

If you want to attach to the 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem Ethernet via the
LAN or WAN interface of the unit, you will need to establish a Telnet connection
to the unit.

The 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem Ethernet must have an IP address and an
administrative login profile (username and password) in order to connect to it
with Telnet. The IP address and administrative login profile are automatically
created when the unit is initially configured using the IP Wizard. The default
username is ’root’ and the default password is ’!root’. Refer to the Chapter 3 for
how to use the IP Wizard to assign an IP address to the unit. Alternatively, the IP
address and administrative login profile can be created using CLI commands.

From Windows 95, you can go to the DOS Window and run:

telnet <ip_address>

This will bring up the login prompt for the unit. Once you have successfully
logged in, the Command Line Interface presentation is the same as if you were
locally attached.

When you want to terminate your Telnet session, type quit at the CLI prompt.
