• Accessing the CLI
Accessing via a Telnet session
It is way faster than console access. The Telnet host accesses the CL2300 via its network interface.
Note
If the IP configuration of the Ethernet port (LAN port) is not known or is
incorrectly configured, you will have to use the console interface.
Telnet Procedure
Before you begin to use the CLI to input configuration commands, do the following:
1.
Set up the Patton device as described in the getting started guide included with your device.
2.
Connect the host (PC) or hub to the Patton device as described in the getting started guide.
3.
Power on your device and wait until the
Run
LED lights.
4.
Open a Telnet session to the IP address shown in the getting started guide.
5.
Proceed with logging in.

Logging on
Accessing the CL2300 via the local console port or via a Telnet session opens a login screen. The following
description of the login process is based on a Telnet session scenario but is identical to that used when accessing
via the local console port.
The opening Telnet screen you see resembles that shown below. The window header bar shows the IP address
of the CL2300.
A factory preset superuser account with name
admin
and an empty password is available when you first access
the unit. For that reason, use the name
admin
after the login prompt and simply press the
<enter>
key after the
password prompt.
