Setup Using Telnet - Contec FX-DS540-APP User Manual

Setup Using TELNET

You can set up the AP using TELNET via a LAN or modem. Follow the procedure below to connect
your PC to the AP using TELNET.
Connection via a LAN
(1) Connect your PC to the network accommodating the AP.
You can use the UTP cable to directly connect the AP and the PC to be used for setup. In that case,
use across cable. A usual straight cable does not work for the connection.
For connecting the PC for setup to the AP using TELNET, the PC's IP address and the AP's IP address
must belong to the same network group. The IP address factory-set for the AP belongs to the class-A
network group beginning with 10, such as 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. For the PC to be used for setup, therefore,
assign an IP address beginning with 10 (for example, [IP 10.1.1.1, MASK 255.0.0.0]). After connecting
the PC to the AP and setting it up, restore the original IP address of the PC. The IP address of the AP
should be changed when it is set up.
Bring up the MS-DOS prompt or command prompt and run TELNET as shown below. The following
example assumes the AP's IP address as 10.168.132.15.
C:\>telnet 10.168.132.15
The TELNET terminal will be invoked, allowing you to set up the AP. For details about setup, see step
(7) in the "Connect to Console Program" section below.
