The B050-000 firmware features a Telnet gateway that enables a user to connect to the
B050-000 via a standard Telnet client.
For connecting to the B050-000 via Telnet protocol you may use a terminal program
such as
xterm , TeraTerm or Putty . As an alternative you may also enter the telnet
command on the command line or use the “Run” dialog from the Windows Start
Menu. As an example you may type the following sequence:
telnet 192.168.1.22
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the B050-000. This will
prompt for user name 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 according functions of the web interface.
Once you have successfully logged into the B050-000 a command line will be pre-
sented and you can enter the according 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 dis-
play some parameters. In terminal mode the pass-through access to serial port 1 is
activated (if the serial settings were made accordingly). To access the B050-000 via se-
rial interface both a serial port replicator cable and a null modem cable are required
(available separately). All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port #1 and its
answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.
