Configuration by Telnet and SSH Consoles

You may use Telnet or SSH client to access the AWK-3121 and manage the console over a
network. To access the AWK-3121’s functions over the network from a PC host that is connected
to the same LAN as the AWK-3121, you need to make sure that the PC host and the AWK-3121
are on the same logical subnet. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask.

NOTE

The AWK-3121’s default IP address is

192.168.127.253

and the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

(for a Class C network). If you do not set these values properly, please check the

network settings of your PC host and then change the IP address to 192.168.127.xxx and subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0.
