MG-IP TDM Over IP Gateway Reference Manual

TELNET Using LAN
To establish a Telnet connection with the MG-IP, connect to one of the Ethernet ports with a PC. The
factory default IP address of a master unit is 169.254.1.100 (the slave is 169.254.1.101) . The default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If you need to change the IP address in the module before connecting to
them via a LAN, see Managing LAN and WAN Interfaces on page 83.
Select Windows Start button, then “Run...” then type “telnet nn.nn.nn.nn”, where the n's are the module
lan IP address.
The MG-IP’s product prompt will be displayed. Note that if a reset command such as \c\rr is used, the
Telnet session will need to be reestablished to reconnect to the CLI.
Managing Users
MG-IP units allow for creation of additional users beyond the default admin user. Additional users may
have full administrator privileges like admin or may be assigned to a user group with limited
administrative privileges. The different user groups to which to assign users are as follows:
