Telnet Masterclock Digital NTP Display
AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO INTERFACE
A terminal-style configuration is available via Telnet. Use any
standard Telnet client application and specify the IP address of
the device as the server with which to connect. The factory
default port is well-known Telnet server port 23.
The following sections provide basic descriptions of using the
Telnet interface of the network device. Please refer to the
previous Using WinDiscovery sections for additional details and
important operational information regarding the special
features and modes of the network device.
TO INITIATE A TELNET SESSION
Select the [Run] command-line interface from the Start menu
and enter the command “telnet” followed by a space, and then
the IP address of the unit and click [OK].
At the password prompt, type the password and press the
[Enter] or [Return] key.
The factory default for password is: “public.”
To initiate commands, types the command name desired and
press the [Enter] or [Return] key to see a listing of available
commands, type “help” at the prompt.
Configuration via Telnet may not be
convenient for devices operating
with a factory default configuration
since the IP address is not known.
Use the WinDiscovery application to
establish first-time networking
configuration.
For security purposes, the Telnet
interface can be disabled. When
disabled, you will no longer be able
to access the device with Telnet.
To re-enable the Telnet feature, one
of the other configuration methods
must be used, or the device must be
reset to factory default.
If you are not familiar with Telnet,
ask your network administrator for
assistance.
Current configuration or default
answers are displayed in brackets.
Depressing the [Enter] or [Return]
key with no number or letter will
retain the current setting.
