Communicating by Ethernet

To communicate with the SSU-2000e using an Ethernet LAN, you must first
configure the Ethernet port. This section describes how to configure the Ethernet
port and then connect to the SSU-2000e using the Ethernet port.
When you connect to the SSU-2000e via Ethernet port 2000 (decimal) using a
Telnet-type application, the session opens in TL1 mode. Up to four sessions (users)
can be connected to port 2000 at one time. Once you are connected, you must log
in using the ACT-USER command with a user name and password (if security is
active on the unit).
To log off the user and exit from an Ethernet session, type
Another user can then open a new session by using the ACT-USER command.
To log off the user, exit from an Ethernet session, and close the Ethernet connection
to port 2000, type
then log in using the ACT-USER command.
Configuring the Ethernet Port
Use the following procedures to configure the SSU-2000e Ethernet parameters (IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address).
1. Establish a direct serial connection to the SSU-2000e as described in
Communicating by Serial
2. Provision the IP, Gateway, and Subnet addresses for the SSU-2000e. The IT
department or site administrator for your location can recommend specific
addresses for these parameters. Use the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to enter the
address parameter.
