Access the Command Line
To configure devices using commands, you must first access the command
line from a Telnet session, and then log on as needed.
This procedure assumes that you have configured the Digi device with an
IP address already.
1. To Telnet to the device server, enter the following command from a
command prompt on another networked device, such as a server:
telnet ip-address
where ip-address is the device server’s IP address. For example:
telnet 192.3.23.5
2. If security is enabled for the device, (that is, a username and password
have been set up for the device), a login prompt is displayed. If you do
not know the user name and password for the device, contact the
system administrator who configured the device.
Configure an IP Address
If the device to which you will be issuing commands has not already been
assigned an IP address, or if the IP address needs to be modified from its
initial configuration, see the Digi Connect User’s Guide for details on
configuring an IP address.
