Telnet Management Session
Any management workstation on your network that has the Telnet
application protocol can be used to manage an AT-WD1008 multiplexer.
In this guide, a Telnet management session is referred to as a remote
management session because you can manage the multiplexer from any
workstation on your network that has the application protocol. You do
not have to be physically near the multiplexer.
A Telnet management session gives you complete access to all of a
multiplexer’s operating parameters. You can perform the same functions
in a Telnet management session as you can in a local management
session. The only exceptions are initially assigning the multiplexer’s IP
address and downloading new software using XModem.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
Starting a Telnet management session involves specifying the IP address
of the multiplexer with a Telnet utility. If you have just installed the
multiplexer, you must initially assign the unit an IP address from a local
management session.
After you have specified the multiplexer’s IP address, you are prompted
for a password, if one has been assigned to the AT-S47 management
software. The default is no password. The Main Menu in Figure 2 on page
16 is then displayed. For instructions on using the Telnet utility, refer to
the documentation included with the utility.
As an example, the following steps show you how to start a Telnet
session from Microsoft Windows:
1. From the Start Menu on your MS Windows, select Run as illustrated in
Figure 3.
