Using a communications program (such as HyperTerm, Terminal, Zterm, or
any program that supports VT100 terminal emulation), open a session
directly with the COM port to which the Pipeline is connected.

Set your communications software to connect with these settings:
–
9600 bits per second

Establishing a Telnet connection
You can establish a Telnet session with the Pipeline as soon as it has been
assigned an IP address. Telnet uses the Ethernet connection from your computer
to reach the Pipeline. To open a Telnet connection, do the following:
1
Open your Telnet application, or enter
Telnet
from the Run menu.
2
Open the connection by specifying the value of My Name or My Addr to
identify the Pipeline. (My Name is the name of the Pipeline, and is also the
account name you use to sign onto a remote service. My Addr is the IP
address of the Pipeline.)
For example, to open a Telnet session, enter:
telnet 192.168.100.1
