Telnet; Starting The Cli; Logging On - 3Com OfficeConnect 140M User Manual

Telnet

To access the CLI over the network, you must use an
application that has Telnet capabilities. Microsoft
Windows also comes with a suitable program called
'Telnet'.
The Telnet application ('Telnet.exe') can usually be
found in the Windows directory on your PC. To start a
Telnet session:
1 Run the 'Telnet.exe' application.
The Telnet application's window appears.
From the Connect menu, select Remote System.
2
The Connect dialog box appears.
Type the IP address of the switch in the Host name
3
field, select 'telnet' for the Port field, and select
'vt-100' for the TermType field.
Click Connect.

Starting the CLI

The login sequence for the CLI begins as soon as the
switch detects a connection to its console port, or as
soon as a Telnet session is started (over the network).

Logging On

At the login Login: prompt, enter a user name.
At the Password: prompt, enter the password
(for the user level). You may have already changed the
passwords for the user levels. If you have not, refer to
"Default User Names and Passwords"
a list of the default user names and passwords.
These user names and passwords are stored in the
switch and are the same ones that are used to access
the web interface, so if you change the passwords
using the web interface (which we recommend) you
need to remember the new passwords so you can still
access the web interface and the CLI. If you forget
your password while logged out of the switch, refer
to "Solving Problems With the Command Line
Interface" on page 6-5.
