Configuration Using Telnet
To access and configure the device server by using a Telnet session over the network, you must
first establish a Telnet connection. You can also establish a Telnet connection by clicking the
Telnet Configuration tab in DeviceInstaller. See the DeviceInstaller Online Help for more
information, available on our website www.lantronix.com/support/downloads
.
To access the EDS-MD by using Telnet, perform the following steps.
1. Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box displays.
2. Type cmd in the dialog box and press OK.
3. Type telnet x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x is the IP address). The EDS-MD is online when the
command prompt (>) displays. You are at the root level of the CLI.
Note: Depending on the level of security, a password may be required.
Configuration Using Serial Ports
Serial Command Mode
The serial port can be configured to operate in command mode permanently or to be triggered
under specified conditions. See the line <line> Level command description for more
information.
Serial Recovery
Serial Recovery mode will temporarily override the line and tunnel settings for the serial line to
allow configuration changes to be made. The line and tunnel settings will be restored once the
user exits the Serial Recovery mode CLI.
