The PowerBlade PBC18 can be managed with a Telnet utility. This type of
management is referred to as remote management.
If the 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 involves specifying the IP address
of the chassis with the Telnet utility. You then enter the Omega
password, if one has been assigned, after which the Omega Main Menu
is displayed. For instructions on using the Telnet utility, refer to the
documentation that came with the utility.
For non-IP environments, you can use a MAC address to connect to a
remote PowerBlade PBC18 as long as there are no routers between the
two chassis’.
It is important to note that you can have only one Telnet session
operating at any one time. The session can be either inbound or
outbound. If you have an inbound session to Omega, you do not have
the option of starting a new session (outbound connection). Therefore, if
you are already using Telnet, the Omega menu selection Connect to a
remote system will not be available (described in detail in
on page 35). In addition, a local RS-232
connection blocks a Telnet session and vice versa.
If you are currently in a Telnet session, you must disconnect Telnet after
quitting Omega. Otherwise, future Telnet sessions to the chassis will be
blocked. You can configure a timeout value so that the chassis
automatically disconnects Telnet sessions after a period of inactivity.
