5.1.2 Telnet Console
The IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE firmware features a Telnet server that enables a user to
connect via a standard Telnet client. If the Telnet program is using a VT 100, VT 102 or VT 220
terminal or appropriate emulation, it is even possible to perform a console redirection, as long
as the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE host is using a text mode screen resolution.
Connecting to the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE 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 ACCESS SWITCH LITE.
This will prompt for the 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 appropriate
functions of the web interface.
Once you have successfully logged into the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE a command line will be
presented and you can enter 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
made accordingly). All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port 1 and its answers are
displayed on the Telnet interface.
