Configuration by Telnet Console
You may open the TN-5500’s Telnet or web console over a network. This requires that the PC host and TN-5500
are on the same logical subnet. You may need to adjust your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default,
the TN-5500’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and TN-5500’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (for a Class C
network). This means that your PC’s IP address must be set to 192.168.127.xxx with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
NOTE To connect to the TN-5500’s Telnet or web console, your PC host and the TN-5500 must be on the same logical
subnet.
NOTE When connecting to the TN-5500’s Telnet or web console, first connect one of TN-5500’s Ethernet ports to your
Ethernet LAN or directly to your PC’s Ethernet port. You may use either a straight-through or cross-over
Ethernet cable.
NOTE The TN-5500’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253.
After making sure that the TN-5500 is connected to the same LAN and logical subnet as your PC, open the
TN-5500’s Telnet console as follows:
1. Click Start Run from the Windows Start menu. Telnet to the TN-5500’s IP address from the Windows
Run window. You may also issue the Telnet command from a DOS prompt.
2. In the terminal window, the Telnet console will prompt you to select a terminal type. Type 1 to choose
ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.
3. The Telnet console will prompt you to log in. Press Enter and select admin or user. Use the down arrow
key on your keyboard to select the Password field and enter a password if desired. This password will be
required to access any of the consoles (web, serial, Telnet). If you do not wish to create a password, leave
the Password field blank and press Enter.
