Appendix 1 Configuring Reason H49 from command lines

Accessing the SSH configuration interface

H49/EN M/C22

Chapter 12: Appendices

The Command Line Interface enables users to configure and manage the features of
the Reason H49 switch.
The user (or client) issues commands to the program in the form of successive lines of
text (command lines) through a Secure Shell (SSH) console.
To be able to access the H49 functions from an SSH console, make sure that the PC
host and the switch are connected to the same LAN on the same logical subnet.
By default, the H49's IP address is 192.168.254.254 and the H49's subnet mask is
255.255.0.0.
To do so:
1 Open the Control Panel on your computer
2 Go to Network Connections
3 Right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties
4 Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP) and click Properties
5 Select Use the following IP address and type a compatible IP address and a
sub mask of 255.255.0.0
6 Click OK to save the change. Reboot your PC if prompted.
7 Connect an Ethernet cable between your PC and any port on the Reason H49
switch.
You may use any SSH tool to access the H49's configuration console.
In our example, one way of accessing the H49 through a Secure Shell (SSH) console is
by using the PuTTY program, which can be downloaded free of charge from
http://www.putty.org/.
