Chapter 2: Starting a Local or Telnet Management Session
24
Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage a Converteon™ chassis. This type of management
session is referred to as remote management session because you do not
have to be physically close to the chassis to start the session, such as with
a local management session. Any workstation on your network that has
the application protocol can be used to manage the chassis.
In terms of functionality, there are almost no differences between
managing a chassis locally through the RS-232 terminal port and remotely
with the Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu selections
and have nearly the same management capabilities.
If the Converteon™ chassis is in a TCP/IP environment, remote
management is possible only after the chassis has been assigned an IP
address and subnet mask. Initially, this is accomplished by managing the
chassis locally through the RS-232 port.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
To start a Telnet management session, specify the IP address of the
chassis in the Telnet application protocol and enter a username and
password when prompted.
To configure a chassis settings, enter “manager” as the user name. The
default password for manager access is “friend”. To just view the settings,
enter “operator” as the username. The default password for operator
access is “operator”. User names and passwords are case sensitive. For
information on the two access levels, refer to “Management Access
Levels” on page 31.
The Main Menu of a Telnet management session is the same menu that
you see in a local management session, shown in Figure 2 on page 22.
Nearly all the functions from a local management session are available to
you from a Telnet management session. The menus also function the
same as with the local management session. To make a selection, refer to
“Using the Terminal Interface” on page 20.
Note
You can run only one Telnet management session on a
Converteon™ chassis at a time. Additionally, you cannot run both a
Telnet management session and a local management session on
the same chassis at the same time.
Note
You can have up to 10 sessions (1-manager and 9-operator)
running simultaneously.
