3.1.2 Telnet Console
The IP module firmware features a Telnet server that enables a user to connect via a standard
Telnet client. In case the Telnet program is using a VT 100, VT 102 or VT 220 terminal or an
according emulation, it is even possible to perform a console redirection as long as the IP
console host machine is using a text mode screen resolution.
Connecting to the IP console is done as usual and as required by the Telnet client, for instance
in a UNIX shell:
telnet 192.168.1.22
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the IP console. This will prompt
for username and password in order to log into the device. The credentials that need to be
entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface. That means, the user
management of the Telnet interface is entirely controlled with the according functions of the web
interface.
Telnet Console
Once you have successfully logged into the IP console a command line will be presented and
you can enter according management commands.
In general, the Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode and the
terminal mode. The command line mode is used to control or display some parameters. In
terminal mode the pass-through access to serial port 1 is activated (if the serial settings were
configured accordingly, see section 3.6.5). All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port 1
and its answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.
