Western Telematic IPS-15 Switch User Manual


 
4. Log Out: When you have finished exploring the IPS-15's
Web Interface, click on the "Log Out" button to terminate
your connection to the IPS-15.
Note: When you have finished communicating with
the IPS-15 unit, it is important to always log off rather
than simply closing your Telnet or communications
program. When you log off using either the "Log Off"
button in the Web Interface, or the /X command in the
Text Interface, this ensure that the IPS-15 has
completely exited from command mode, and is not
waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before
allowing additional connections.
This completes the introductory overview of the IPS-15 Web
Interface. If you wish to see the Text Interface, please proceed to
the next section, or refer to Sections 4 and 5 for complete
installation and configuration procedures.
3.2.2. The Text Interface
This section provides a brief description of the IPS-15's Text
Interface. The Text Interface is a series of simple, ASCII menus,
that are used to invoke commands and select configuration
parameters. The Text Interface can be used when the unit is
contacted via Telnet, modem or Local PC.
Notes:
·
In order to contact the IPS-15 via modem, you must
connect an external modem to the IPS-15 Master
Unit's Console Port and attach a phone line to the
external modem. Please refer to Section 4.3.2 for
further instructions regarding external modems.
·
The Console Port can be connected to either a Local
PC or an external modem, but not both at the same
time.
·
In order to access the IPS-15 Text Menus, your PC
must include a communications program, such as
Hyperterminal or ProComm.
