The two methods of accessing a new module are:
• access through a PC using a terminal application
• access by Telneting to the module using the initial default IP address
Once you have used one of the two methods to access to the module, you should:
• establish an administration session with the module
• assign the module's new IP address
For more detailed instructions, refer to the sections below.

the other end of the cable to the communication port on the PC. On the PC you must then execute

You can use a remote device to Telnet into module using the module's initial default IP address
(192.186.254.254). The remote device can be a device with Telnet client software such as a PC or a
UNIX workstation, or it can be a second module or a Cabletron CyberSWITCH. Note that the
modules and CyberSWITCH systems have built-in Telnet client software.
If a CyberSWITCH or second module is acting as the Telnet client, simply enter the following
console command to Telnet into the module:
telnet < 192.186.254.254 >
If a remote device other than a Cabletron product is acting as the Telnet client, use the device's
Telnet application to connect to the initial default IP address.
After you make a Telnet connection you will be ready to establish an administration session (refer
to the following section for instructions).
