Freeway User Guide
5.1.11 Enable User Logins
At the end of the boot sequence, Freeway user logins are enabled. If a serial or VGA con-
sole is attached, the “Login:” prompt will be displayed on the screen. At this point users
may login to access the Freeway interactive menus.
5.2 Freeway Operations
Once a standard Freeway with boots up, it becomes a listening device on the network.
That is, it does not attempt to connect to other devices on the network. Instead, the
Freeway just waits for other devices to connect to it.
5.2.1 Client Socket Connections
While the Freeway is running it always has a TCP/IP “listen” posted on all enabled
Ethernet ports. This is to allow client application programs to connect to the Freeway
using the DLI/TSI library. The default TCP port number for listening is 0x2010 (8208
decimal). This number is defined in the
wellknownport parameter of the /tmp/boot/muxcfg file
and can be modified if necessary.
Once a client application connects to the Freeway, the resulting socket connection is
assigned another port number that is different and unique. Then the Freeway posts
another listen to the well known port number. This method allows multiple sockets to
be established to the Freeway using the same well known port number.
5.2.2 Interactive Menu
Users can access the Freeway interactive menu by logging in at the console or over the
network using telnet, rlogin, or ssh. The default username/password logins are
root/setup and freeway/password (all lower case). The Freeway interactive menu is the
primary tool for users to access tools, display information and change configuration.
Chapter 4 of this manual is devoted entirely to the functions available using the interac-
tive menu.
