EtherPath User’s Guide

Client (Reverse Telnet) Mode
Method 1 (ATD dial mode)
•
The EtherPath must be configured for “ATD” dialing and set
for "client".
•
Start the Terminal emulation program (or use a real terminal).
The communication settings for this device must be the same as
the values entered into the “Client” EtherPath device earlier.
•
Power up the local EtherPath. It will be in command mode,
awaiting a connection command. Type the command “AT
<enter>” to test the RS-232 connection. It should answer with
an “OK” message. If not, correct the RS-232 cable miswiring
or terminal program problem. “Dial” a remote telnet server by
using an “ATD” dial command.. “ATD1.2.3.4:5555” , where
1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the remote telnet server and 5555 is
the optional connection port number configured in the remote
telnet server. The EtherPath will automatically connect to the
remote telnet server. If an address or port number isn’t given,
the values stored during configuration are used. See the
Appendix for a complete list of "AT" commands and
responses.
•
If the EtherPath is in “Client - Echo” mode, you should see the
message “Connect OK !” from the client mode EtherPath when
the connection is established
•
You may now proceed as if the remote telnet server was
connected to the serial port of your workstation.
•
Disconnect from that remote telnet server with either the “+++”
command or by lowering the hardware lead on pin six.
