Managing the DES-5200

Telnet Management
You can manage the DES-5200 via Telnet session. However, first you must
assign a unique IP address to the DES-5200. Use Console Management to log into
the DES-5200 for the first time so that you can assign an IP address. Once you
have assigned an IP address to the DES-5200, you can use the management
method of your choice.
Telnet management can be done through any of the ports on the switch. You can
use any Telnet application that emulates a VT100 terminal. You must install
TCP/IP on the workstation before using Telnet. Only one Telnet session can be
active at a time.
Configuring Through the Ethernet Port
Follow these steps to manage the DES-5200 through a Telnet session:
1. Assign an IP address to the DES-5200.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports on
the DES-5200.
3. Attach the other end of the cable to a workstation.
4. Access the DES-5200 through Telnet.
5. Log into the DES-5200 using your user name and password.
The Telnet session will timeout after five minutes. Any changes that have not
been saved are lost. Press Enter to reconnect after a timeout.
