3 - Getting Started
This chapter covers all of the steps needed to get the MSS on-line and
working. There are three basic methods used to log into the MSS and
begin configuration.
1.
Incoming (Remote) Logins: EZWebCon is the preferred method of
login and configuration for TCP/IP and IPX users. For TCP/IP and
LAT users, other remote login options are available (see
Telnet
on
page 3-4).
2.
Serial Port Logins: Users can connect a terminal directly to the
console port, log in, and use the command line interface to configure
the unit.
3.
Remote Console Logins: TCP/IP users can make a Telnet connection
to the remote console port, port 7000.
It is important to consider the following points before logging into and
configuring the MSS:
•
The MSS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP
functionality is available (see
IP Address Configuration
on page
3-2).
•
Connecting a terminal to the console port or logging into the
remote console port does not automatically create privileged
user status. You must use the
Set Privileged
command to
configure the unit (see
Privileged Password
on page 4-1).
•
The remote console port is password protected (see
System
Passwords
on page 4-1).
•
Only one person at a time may be logged into the remote
console port, regardless of the protocol being used. This
eliminates the possibility of several people simultaneously
attempting to configure the MSS.
•
Remote console logins cannot be disabled. The system manager
should always be able to access the unit.
•
Only one terminal may be connected to the MSS485 DB-9
console port.
