Chapter 9. TELNET COMMAND
9.1

Overview

The Telnet Command Line Interface (referred to hereafter as the Telnet CLI or the CLI) is an
Ethernet-based user menu system for the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem equipped with an
installed and enabled optional IP Packet Processor card. The CLI allows configuration, monitoring
and control of the unit using a user-supplied terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY or Tera Term).
9.1.1

Interface Access

Any changes made to the modem that are not saved to permanent storage during
the active session will be lost if the modem is reset or loses power. This applies
to all of the base modem and optional Packet Processor parameters. The
parameters can be saved by pressing [F8] on any Telnet CLI configuration page.
For connection via a Terminal Emulator
The user PC must have network connectivity to a Traffic Ethernet Port of the IP Module. This
connectivity can be via a local LAN, a remote LAN, or via a satellite link from another IP modem.
