E.8 Network Processor (NP) Telnet/SSH CLI Interface Operation
This appendix section defines the CLI user menu system provided with the SLM-5650A Satellite
Modem's optional NP (Network Processor) Module Interface. Access to the CLI depends on the IP
Interface Security Mode setting that has been selected for the NP Interface.
E.8.1 Important Operational Considerations
Chapter 8. ETHERNET INTERFACE OPERATION
Before you proceed with using the NP Interface module for secure Ethernet remote product
management, make sure the following is true:
•
You have read Chapter 8. ETHERNET INTERFACE OPERATION in its entirety, and you
fully understand the requirements and limitations when using the SLM-5650A Ethernet
Interface in non-secure and secure applications.
•
The SLM-5650A is operating with the latest version firmware files.
•
The User PC is connected to the Base Modem's RJ-45 'J5 Ethernet' port.
• You have recorded the unit's Management IP Address and the NP Interface IP Address.
•
The User PC is running a compatible web browser for operation of the NP HTTP/HTTPS
Interface.
•
The User PC is running a terminal emulation program for operation of the Telnet Remote
Control features.
•
For the Telnet/SSH CLI Interface Operations note that:
•
The CLI is accessible via Telnet when the IP Interface Security Mode has been set to "Low
Level Security". SSH (Secure Shell) will not be available for CLI operations at this security
level.
•
The CLI is accessible only via SSH when the IP Interface Security Mode has been set to
"High Level Security". Telnet will not be available for CLI operations at this security level.
•
See Section E.2.5.2.3 'Admin | Security' (Account Information) in this appendix for
detailed information about the IP Interface Security Mode features for the NP Interface,
including overviews on using Telnet and SSH.
