Telnet Terminal Configuration - Symmetricom ND-SERIES User Manual

Telnet Terminal Configuration

A terminal-style configuration interface is available via Telnet. To connect with the ND in this manner
use any standard Telnet client application, specifying the IP address of the clock as the server with
which to connect. The factory default port is well-known telnet server port 23.
Configuration via Telnet may not be convenient for devices operating with a factory default
configuration since the IP address is not known. Use the WinDiscovery application or the RS-232
interface to establish first-time networking configuration.
[Helpful Hint: If a DHCP server is available on the network, The DHCP server can be utilized to
provide the IP address of the associated device name that is registered.]
The following sections provide basic descriptions of using the Telnet interface of the network clock.
Please refer to the previous Using WinDiscovery sections for additional details and important
operational information regarding the special features and modes of the network clock.
[Note: for security purposes, the Telnet interface can be disabled. When disabled, you will no longer be
able to access the device with Telnet. To re-enable the Telnet feature, one of the other configuration
methods must be used, or the clock must be reset to factory default configuration. ]
If you are not familiar with the Telnet application, ask your network system administrator for assistance.
To initiate a Telnet session in Windows, select the Run Command Line interface from the Start menu
and enter the command "telnet" followed by a space, and then the IP address of the unit.
Upon entering the network clock via Telnet, the initial screen is shown below. The clock displays its
firmware version, its name, Ethernet address, IP address, and the IP address of the PC with which you
are accessing it. A login prompt is presented if a password has been configured for the device. The
configuration menu will be displayed when the correct password has been provided.
