Configuration using a Telnet Console
You may use Telnet to access the EDS-516A’s console utility over a network. To be able to access
EDS-516A’s functions over the network (by Telnet or Web Browser) from a PC host that is
connected to the same LAN as the EDS-516A, you need to make sure that the PC host and the
EDS-516A are on the same logical subnet. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and subnet
mask. By default, the EDS-516A’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and the EDS-516A’s subnet
mask is 255.255.0.0 (for a Class B network). If you do not change these values, and your PC
host’s subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.xxx.xxx. On the
other hand, if your PC host’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the form
192.168.127.xxx.
NOTE
To use the EDS-516A’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the
same LAN as the EDS-516A, you must make sure that the PC host and the EDS-516A are on the
same logical subnet.
NOTE
Before accessing the console utility by Telnet, first connect one of the EDS-516A’s RJ45
Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet NIC. You can establish a
connection with either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.
NOTE
The EDS-516A’s default IP is 192.168.127.253.
Perform the following steps to access the console utility by Telnet.
1. Click Start Æ Run, and then telnet to the EDS-516A’s IP address from the Windows Run
window. (You may also issue the telnet command from the MS-DOS prompt.)
2. Type 1 to choose ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.
