Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration and Management
Remote Management
This section describes typical client applications that can be used to configure the MultiFRAD
remotely. It is important to note that although any subsequent changes to configuration can be made
using these applications, the initial setup and configuration of the MultiFRAD must be done using a
local PC and the MultiFRAD software provided with your unit.
Although establishing access to the MultiFRAD varies between applications, the configuration
functions mirror those of the MultiFRAD software. For more information on MultiFRAD software, refer
to
Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD
Software.
Telnet
A typical Telnet client application is described next. The MultiFRAD has a built-in Telnet Server that
enables Telnet client PCs to access and configure the MultiFRAD. In addition, the MultiFRAD can be
remotely accessed and configured from any where on the Internet through its Web interface.
The TCP/IP stack has to be loaded before the Telnet client (a Windows application) will run. Also, the
Telnet Server option has to be enabled on the Others Setup dialog box. Double-click the Telnet
icon (or shortcut) and a blank Telnet screen is displayed. Click Connect | Remote System and the
Connect dialog box is displayed. Select (or enter) a Host Name (the IP address of the MultiFRAD).In
this example, the Host Name is 192.168.2.14.
When you enter a valid Host Name (IP address) and click Connect, you are immediately connected
to the target MultiFRAD and the MultiFRAD Telnet Server screen is displayed.
MultiFRAD Telnet Server Menu
The MultiFRAD Telnet Server menu provides two basic options: MultiFRAD Configuration and
Remote User Database. Note: the Database option is not used in this application. A third option
(EXIT) enables you to close the Telnet session.
If you have entered a password requirement in the Applications Setup dialog box in the MultiFRAD
software, once you choose the MultiFRAD Configuration option (1) on the MultiFRAD Telnet Server
menu, you must enter your password to display the Main Menu.
