Telnet/SSH Serial Interface
The Telnet/SSH interface was designed to be used mostly for various maintenance tasks such as software
updates. The interface was designed to provide an easy and convenient interface for IT managers who are
used to Telnet/SSH. To simplify Telnet/SSH usage, all of the Telnet/SSH interface is menu-driven based,
eliminating the need to learn and remember complicated text commands.
Telnet
: Provides unsecured unit serial interface over the Network.
SSH
:
Provides secured unit serial interface over the Network.
NOTE:
Only one remote user can access the unit over Telnet/SSH at any given time. In case a second
remote Telnet/SSH user tries to access the unit while the first Telnet/SSH session is still active, a
short message will appear to the second Telnet/SSH user requesting the user to try and
reconnect over Telnet/SSH a little later.
Non-active Telnet/SSH session (no keystrokes by remote user) will be terminated automatically
after three minutes.
Telnet/SSH is password protected, and shares the same username/password as for Web access.

4-1: Telnet/SSH 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 easily identify the unit being accessed over Telnet/SSH (useful especially whenever the user has
multiple units), the unit hostname string is shown to the right of the Main Menu title (My-Device in the
example above)
