USING TELNET
To connect to the ATLAS 550 via Telnet, you must define the IP address, set
the subnet mask, and, typically, set the default gateway IP address.
Starting a Telnet Session
When you begin the Telnet session, you will be prompted for a password.
The default password is password (which is a Level 0 superuser password).
You can change this password using the
A CCESS P ASSWORDS option, which
is only accessible through the terminal menus. See Access Passwords on page
6-15 for details. The Telnet session will time out and display the Login
prompt after a predefined time that is set in the
S ESSION T IMEOUT option (see
Session Timeout on page 6-9 for details).
You must define the IP address before attempting to connect via
Telnet. See Using VT-100 Terminal Emulation on page 3-1 for
details on defining the IP address.
You will need a default gateway if the LAN contains multiple
segments. Contact your LAN administrator for the appropriate
address.
Use the M AX T ELNET S ESSIONS option to define the number of
Telnet sessions that can be active at one time (see Max Telnet
Sessions on page 6-9 for details).
Microsoft Telnet version 1.0 does not implement full VT-100
emulation. However, many commercial Telnet clients for Microsoft
Windows exist which fully implement VT-100. In addition, a
freeware client, recommended for optimum performance, comes with
the ATLAS 550. See VT-100 Utility on page 14-8 for details.
