Once you have assigned a valid IP address to the Switch, proceed to chapter 4 for an

explanation of the menu systems and commands.

2.3 Telnet Setup

Once you have setup the switch IP address via the Console Port, you are ready to access

the management functions from any station on your network via Telnet. To connect,

simply start your telnet client and enter the address you configured into the switch

(Device IP Address). Below you can see an example of using the standard Windows®

Telnet client. Before using Telnet, you must first know your Switch device IP address. The

IP should have been set earlier in the Console setup section. If the IP address has not yet

been set, refer to the quick installation guide.

For Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP:

A. Press on Start Menu, then on RUN, type in telnet and the device IP address. For

example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.1, type “telnet 192.168.0.1” and hit enter.

B. Connection will initiate and you will be prompt to enter password.

C. The default password is admin, unless it has been changed previously.

Once you have logged into the switch, proceed to the next section for an explanation on

issuing ICD commands.
