Western Telematic NPS-2HD - Manual (Page 33)

6. Operation
6.1. Access the NPS-2HD Command Mode
Commands can be sent to the NPS-2HD via Network or modem,
or from a local PC connected to the Console Port. To access the
Command Mode, proceed as follows:
Note: Only one port can access command mode at a
given time. When you have finished communicating
with the unit, always make certain to disconnect
using the /X command. When the Console Port or
Modem Port are busy, you will not be able to access
the command mode via the Network Port. For more
information, please refer to Section 6.8.
1. Contact the NPS:
a) Via Network: Telnet to the NPS unit's IP Address.
For example, if the IP Address is 192.1.1.1, on a UNIX
system the Telnet command would be as follows:
$ telnet 192.1.1.1 [Enter]
Notes:
· In order to contact the NPS via telnet, you must
first define the unit's Network Parameters as
described in Section 5.6.
· If the Telnet connection to the NPS is refused, this
may mean that the unit is busy, or that the IP
Security feature has denied the connection.
b) Via Modem: Start your communications program (e.g.
HyperTerminal). Dial the external modem connected
to the NPS, then wait for the Connect Message.
c) Via Console Port: Start your communications
program and press [Enter].
2. Password: If the System password has been defined, a
prompt will be displayed. Key in your System or User
Password, and press [Enter].
3. Disconnect: To end the session, type /X and press
[Enter] (or disconnect using Telnet software).
