NTI SERIMUX SERIES CONSOLE SWITCH
55
COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
The Administrator can remotely view or change port configuration in the SERIMUX using a Telnet client and the Command Line
Interface (CLI) connected through a network. Using pre-formatted configuration files, the SERIMUX can quickly be re-configured
as needed.
Note: The Ethernet option must be present in the SERIMUX for this feature to function.
1. Make sure the SERIMUX is powered-ON, connected to the network, and has an assigned IP address (page 52). The default
IP address is 192.168.1.90.
2. Start the Telnet client (like HyperTerminal) from a PC connected on a network in which the SERIMUX is accessible and
configure it as follows:
•
TCP/IP connection
•
Enter the IP address assigned to the SERIMUX
•
ANSI or VT100 terminal mode.
With the Telnet client properly configured, you will immediately connect to the SERIMUX and be prompted for the administrator
username, and then the password.
