Command Line Interface
Logging In
Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit.
Logging in through the Console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation
software configured to support ANSI or VT100 and a supported data rate (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data bits-no parity-one stop bit and Device Ready output
signal (DTR or DSR).
To log in by RS-232 or Telnet:
1. Press Enter. The following appears, where x.xx is the firmware version:
Sentry Version x.xx
Username:
NOTE: Logging in by Telnet will automatically open a session. It is not necessary to press Enter.
2. At the Username: and Password: prompts, enter a valid username and password. And press Enter.
You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail,
the session ends.
When you enter a valid username and password, the command prompt (Sentry:) appears. If a location
identifier was defined, it will be displayed before the Sentry: prompt. See Creating a location
