2.1.3 Accessing the Embedded Management
System
The menu-based management system provides access to view and con-
figure many unit parameters and provides you with basic diagnostic and
maintenance tools. There are several tools that can be used to gain
access to the entraNET Management System.
• Terminal-Emulator—Use a terminal emulator program on
your PC, such as HyperTerminal, connected directly to the
MDS entraNET 900
COM1
port via a serial cable.
• Telnet—Text-based access to the Management System through
a network connection (AP only).
• Web Browser—Connect to the entraNET units using a Web
browser on a local PC connected directly to the transceiver’s
LAN port or associated network (AP only).
The following are detailed procedures for connecting to the embedded
Management System.
Procedure with
Terminal Emulator
a. Connect a computer’s serial communications port to the trans-
ceiver’s
COM1
Port connector.
b. Launch a terminal emulator program, such as HyperTerminal, on
the computer. Configure it to 19,200 bps data rate, 8-bit charac-
ters, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow-control. Use ANSI or
VT100 emulation.
c. Press the
ENTER
key. A login screen will be displayed that will
require a user name and password to access the Management
System. (User = entraNET; default password =
admin
)
The radio will respond with a login screen, followed by the
start-up screen similar to
.
NOTE:
If the transceiver is powered-up or rebooted while connected
with a terminal, you will see a series of pages of text informa-
tion relating to the booting of the unit’s microcomputer. Wait
for the initial entraNET MS login screen before proceeding.
The boot process takes approximately 30 seconds.
Procedure with
Telnet (AP only)
a. Connect a personal computer’s Ethernet port to the
LAN
Port
connector on the AP transceiver using an Ethernet crossover
cable or connect the AP to the network. (See
for location.) The
LAN
LED will light up.
b. Start the Telnet program on your computer targeting the IP
address of the transceiver to which you are connected and press
the
ENTER
key.
For example, in Windows:
Start>Run>Telnet
