INSTALLATION

Direct Control Using PuTTY

Note that Windows 7 does not install a Telnet Client by default, so you
must do this manually if you wish to initiate a Telnet connection be-
tween a Windows 7 machine and your Optimod. Refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(WS.10).aspx
A) If you are using a serial connection, establish a Direct Serial Connection be-
tween your computer and the Optimod. See Appendix: Setting Up Serial
Communications starting on page 2-61.
A connection through the serial port uses a fixed IP address:
192.168.168.101
B) Start PuTTY.

E) Specify the host name or IP address:
• If you are connecting through the 8500S's serial port, type 192.168.168.101
into the "Host Name (or IP address)" field.
• If you are connecting through the 8500S's Ethernet interface, type the
8500S's IP address into the "Host Name (or IP address)" field.
The IP address for this connection is the same as the IP address set in step

To automate control of the 8500S externally, establish a Telnet/SSH connection and
issue commands and parameters, either by typing them directly into a Telnet/SSH cli-
ent or by placing them within batch files. Then process them with a scriptable Tel-
net/SSH client that supports this operation, such as PuTTY, along with its companion
command-line interpreter, Plink. You can also use netcat.exe. Below, we provide in-
structions for both PuTTY/Plink and Netcat.
Custom third party applications can be developed to use this protocol. Additionally,
you can include this protocol in an existing application by using small subsets of the
standards-based Telnet/SSH protocols directly, or for simplicity, by using scripting or
by calling batch files with a Telnet/SSH client such as PuTTY along with its compan-
ion command-line interpreter, Plink.
