Using Telnet
Assign the iMcV-FiberLinX an IP address
before
using a Telnet session.
All configuration done via the serial port can also be performed using
Telnet. Use only one Telnet session at a time. Do not use an RS-232 seri-
al session and a Telnet session at the same time.
Includes three levels of Telnet account access:
User:
Can only see status, change password, and
reboot
Operator:
Can perform User functions and change settings
Administrator:
Can perform all functions and add/delete
accounts and use “cleandb”
About DHCP
There is a DHCP client built into the iMcV-FiberLinX. By default, the
DHCP client is disabled. If a DHCP server is present on the network, the
DHCP client will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up
sequence. The server will then issue an IP address, Default Gateway and
Subnet mask to the iMcV-FiberLinX. Once the new IP address is received,
the iMcV-FiberLinX will reboot for the new IP address to take effect. If there
is not a DHCP server on the network, disable DHCP and use iConfig or ser-
ial configuration to manually set the IP addresses.
DHCP servers give out lease times; devices renew their leases based on
the administrator-specified time. If a device cannot renew its lease, and the
lease expires, the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 and
reboot. If an IP address is already assigned to the device, and DHCP is then
enabled, that original IP address is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the
saved IP address will be reinstated and the device will reboot.
NOTE
Account access through the Serial port is always at the Administrator level.
