EDS Device Servers Command Reference

2: Configuration Using Telnet or Serial Port
As an alternative to using Web Manager, you can configure the EDS using a series of
commands. You can access this command-line interface (CLI) with a Telnet session or
through a serial port connection to the EDS.
This command reference describes how to use the CLI and provides a detailed list of all
the CLI commands supported.
Using Telnet
To configure the EDS using a Telnet session over the network, establish a Telnet
connection.
Note:
As an alternative, establish a Telnet connection by clicking the Telnet
Configuration tab in DeviceInstaller. See the EDS User Guide for more
information.
1. From the Windows Start menu, click
Run
. The Run dialog box appears.
2. In the Run dialog box, type the following command, where x.x.x.x is the IP address:
telnet x.x.x.x
A prompt displays.
Note:
Depending on the level of security you have configured, the User Name
and Password may be required. If you named the unit, the name displays as the
prompt. If you assigned a host name to the unit, a host name prompt displays.
Using a Serial Port
To configure the EDS locally using a serial port, connect a terminal or a PC running a
terminal-emulation program to an EDS serial port. Configure the terminal (or emulation)
for 9600 baud, 8-bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
1. Cycle the unit’s power (power off and back on). After power-up, the self-test begins.
Note:
The EDS8/16/32PR products have a dedicated console port that
automatically provides a CLI. If you are using the the console port, skip
step 2.
2. Press and hold down the exclamation point (!) key. (Some keyboard require you to
press the
Shift
key when typing an exclamation point.) Then, when an exclamation
point appears on the terminal or PC screen, immediately type
xyz
to display a CLI
prompt.
