3.3 Remote Management 

 

The Serial Server also supports Telnet for remote management. You can use Telnet to open a terminal session over one of the 

Ethernet ports. The Serial Server asks for user name and password for remote login when using Telnet; please use the following 

default IP address, username and password for the first-time login. 

Default IP Address: 

192.168.0.100

 

Default Username: 

admin

 

Default Password: 

admin

 

 

You will be presented with a text menu displaying the Serial Server’s general settings, which you will be able to view and modify. 

It appears as shown in Figure 3-3-1.
