Logging In
Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit.
Logging in through the Console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation software
configured to support ANSI or VT100 and a supported data rate (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data bits-no parity-one stop bit and Device Ready output signal (DTR or DSR).
To log in by RS-232 or Telnet:
1. Press Enter . The following appears, where x.xx is the firmware version:
