Connecting to the IP module 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 module. 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.

Once you have successfully logged into the IP module 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). All inputs are

redirected to the device on serial port 1 and its answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.

The following list shows the according command mode command syntax and their usage.
