(or a similar emulation), it is possible to perform a console redirection as long as the host
machine is using a text based operating system (e.g. Unix).
Connecting to the freeView IP 800 requires a telnet client on the local machine. To access the
device, run the telnet program and specify the IP address of the unit. For example, if the unit’s IP
address is 192.168.1.22, type in “telnet 192.168.1.22” in Unix or Windows. Once connected, the
user will be prompted for username and password. The credentials for authentication are
identical to those of the web interface.
Once the user has successfully logged into the device, a command line will be presented and the
user can enter management commands.
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 device parameters. In terminal mode
the connection is made from the local machine to the device connected to the serial port on the
unit (if the serial settings are set correctly). All user input on the local machine are redirected to
the device connected to the serial port and the response is displayed on the Telnet interface.
The following list shows the commands available in mode command and their usage.
