5. Exit Command Mode: When you have finished setting

Network Parameters, type /X and press [Enter] to exit the

command mode at the Console Port.
Note: Only one port may access the NPS command

mode at a given time. In order to allow access to the

NPS unit via other ports, always exit from the

command mode when you are finished

communicating with the unit.

6. Connect Network Cable: Connect your network interface

to the NPS-2HD Network Port. The Network Port is an

RJ45, 10BaseT Ethernet jack, for connection to a TCP/IP

network.
Note: The NPS-2HD features a 10BaseT Interface.

When connecting to a 100BaseT interface, note that

most router switches will autosense to determine if

the device is 100BaseT or 10BaseT, and then

configure the network interface accordingly. If your

router switch does not autosense, then the network

interface port must be manually set to 10BaseT.

7. Network Access: Telnet to the NPS's IP address. For

example, if the IP address is "119.1.1.1", on a UNIX

system the Telnet command would be invoked as follows:

$ telnet 119.1.1.1 [Enter]

After the Telnet connection is established, the NPS should

display the System Help Screen and the NPS command

prompt should appear, indicating that you have

successfully accessed the NPS Command Mode via the

Network Port.
