Chapter 17. IP MODULE - CLI
17.1

Overview

This section defines the user menu system connected to the IP Module via a Terminal
Emulator or Telnet. In the process of configuring each parameter, an overview of the
parameter and its impact on the configuration of the IP Module is provided.
When connecting via a Terminal Emulator, the user should be physically attached to the
Console Port of the IP Module. The terminal emulator should be configured to match the
console port setting. The default console port setting is 38,400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit and no flow control.
When connecting via telnet, the user must have network connectivity to the 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. The Ethernet Speed Mode is a configurable
parameter of the IP Module and thus its exact setting can vary between specific
installations.
IMPORTANT
AND TELNET OPERATION
The IP MODULE does not allow concurrent access to the menu via telnet
and the console port. If a user connects via telnet, IP MODULE
automatically disables the console port for the duration of the Telnet
session. All menu pages allow a Telnet logout to end a Telnet session.
Also, the IP MODULE will automatically end a Telnet session after a period
of inactivity (configurable from 1 to 60 minutes).
