4.2.3. Accessing the Configuration and Monitoring Menu
The EQT router contains configuration and monitoring menu that allows the user to change some
internal settings of the device and also to monitor various components on the router. Before accessing
the configuration and monitoring menu, the IP address of the device must be set.
The dot-matrix display on the front will show the default factory setting of the TCP/IP address of the
router (except –CS and 3224 versions).
The configuration and monitoring menu can be accessed using the TELNET network protocol or Serial
connection. As standard EQT uses port 4000 as its server port, which allows control and monitoring to
be achieved from a PC using the Telnet function. Using any TELNET client, telnet into the configuration
and monitoring menus of the device by typing
telnet followed by the IP address, and then followed by
4000 . (For example, telnet 192.168.0.0 4000). Or connect the PC to DB9-1 F, use root and evertz for
user name and password and then type “telnet localhost 4000” to access the configuration and
monitoring menus.

Note: Access to the configuration and monitoring menu is done through port 4000.
Port 4000 cannot be used for controlling the router or connecting to Magnum.
If there is a problem communicating over Ethernet, then the user should check that there is a network
connection to the router from a PC command prompt by typing
ping followed by the IP address. (For
example, ping 192.168.0.0) and check the network settings via serial menu.
All menu items can be accessed using the number listed beside the menu item. Once in a menu, use
the numbers beside the items to set the value. Follow the on screen instructions to set the value of the
parameter, save and exit the configuration.
When all desired changes have been made, exit the telnet section by hitting Ctrl-D or closing the telnet
session.
