4 Telnet Interface
The Telnet interface was designed to be used mostly for various maintenance tasks such as software updates,
and provides an easy and convenient interface for IT managers who are used to Telnet. To simplify Telnet
usage, all Telnet menus are menu driven, eliminating the need to learn and remember complicated text
commands.
NOTE:
Only one remote user can access Telnet at any given time. In case a second remote Telnet user
will try to access the unit while the first Telnet user is still active, a short message will appear to
the second Telnet user requesting the user to try and reconnect over Telnet a little later.
Non-active Telnet session (no keystroke from remote user) will be terminated automatically after
three minutes.
Telnet is password protected, sharing the same username/password as for Web access.
4.1 Telnet
– Main Menu
To easily identify the unit being accessed by Telnet in case the user has multiple units, the unit hostname string
is shown to the right of the Main Menu title.
Figure 4-1: Telnet Main Menu
The Main Menu offers three options. All the View options are under the View menu. All the configuration and
maintenance options (such as software updates, upload/download configurations) are under Configuration. The
third option is Ping which should be used to resolve and test network connectivity issues.
NOTE:
To ease unit identification, the unit Hostname/FQDN string is also displayed in the main menu
(PDS102G-3
rd
.floor in the example above).
