ELNET
You can access the CyberSWITCH with Telnet. To do this, you must use Telnet client software.The
CyberSWITCH has default IP addresses configured to allow Telnet access. The default LAN IP
address is 1.1.1.1. To access the CyberSWITCH you must set the device’s IP address to be on the
same subnet as the CyberSWITCH. We recommend that you use 1.1.1.2 and do this on a LAN that
is not connected to the internet. Then place the CyberSWITCH on the LAN and Telnet to the
address.
This default address allows immediate access to the system for installation purposes. Be sure to
change this IP address as soon as possible to one on your local subnet.
Note:
Do NOT place more than one CyberSWITCH on a LAN with the default setting. With both
having the same IP address, unpredictable results will occur.
You may also Telnet in via the WAN connection. The general procedures are:
1.
Connect the system to the (WAN) ISDN line.
2.
From a remote device that supports unnumbered IP connections, dial in as a PPP CHAP device
USER1 (USER1 as secret). Provide Telnet with the CyberSWITCH address.
3.
From a remote device only supporting numbered IP connections, set up an IP Address 2.2.2. 3
and have it dial as a PPP CHAP device USER2 (USER2 as secret). Provide Telnet with the
CyberSWITCH address of 2.2.2.2.
After you make a Telnet connection, you will be presented with a login prompt. Proceed to
Establishing an Administrative Session
.
For more information on Telnet, refer to the
chapter.

ODEM
In order to establish an administration session via an analog line, you must have a preconfigured
modem for attachment to the CyberSWITCH. Note that the modem is NOT configurable through the
CyberSWITCH! The modem must be configured to a baud rate that is either equal to or less than
that of the CyberSWITCH.
Once the modem is properly configured, attach it to the serial port of the CyberSWITCH. You may
now access the CyberSWITCH through a remote PC and modem by dialing into the modem
attached to the CyberSWITCH. Note that the CyberSWITCH supports dual usage of its serial port
for either async-PPP data transfer or administration console management. Async-PPP data transfer
(through autosense mode) is the default.
To establish an administration console session from the remote site, the remote user must type four
carriage returns within five seconds of call connection. Refer to
Resources
and the background
information for the
for additional information. Refer to
to change defaults.
