3.4.2 Management by Ethernet Interface
3.4.2.1 Telnet
The
TELNET
(TELecommunication NETwork) access is made through the Ethernet network. With
any computer and a program with the Telnet protocol Etherlink_IV devices can be fully managed.
After opening the Telnet session, there is a user authentication: “admin” users, who can change
configurations and “user” users who can only view parameters and statistics. Initially passwords are
empty. In this case the authentication is not performed and users automatically have the
administrator rights. Only “admin” users can set passwords for both types of users. If authentication
is successful, the modem main menu is displayed. If authentication fails, it can be repeated up to
three times, and after it the connection breaks.
Example: The management through a Telnet session can be activated by a standard command on
any Windows computer:
telnet <IP-address>
If no symbols are received by the modem over the telnet connection within 5 minutes, this session
breaks. And with correct configuration, every SHDSL modem with an IP address can be reached; it
does not matter if near end, far end or repeater.
3.4.2.2 WEB
The WEB
interface is used to display statistics when the Etherlink_IV SHDSL modems are
connected to the management computer via the Ethernet interface. Any WEB browser can be used
to access the WEB interface. To display the statistics you should enter the command:
http://X.X.X.X/
on the WEB browser. (X.X.X.X is the IP-address of the modem). After the
connection is established, the active window of the WEB browser displays the following alarms and
statistics (there are several pages available):

the command description if you need some explanation about any setting. If you have changed the
configuration you have to press the “Save” button. The configuration is then active and if you like to
