Operation
9.4.2. Initiating a Telnet Session via the Web Browser Interface
To initiate a Telnet Session from the RPC Web Browser Interface, proceed as follows:
1. Place the cursor over the "SSH/Telnet Connect" button on the left hand side of the
screen. When the flyout menu appears, click on the Telnet option.
Note: If the RSP displays a message that indicates that your browser does not
include the Java plugin, go to the Java website and download the latest version
of the Java plugin.
2. Log in to the Telnet Session:
a) The RPC will display the "login" prompt. Key in a valid username that has been
previously defined via the RPC User directory and then press [Enter].
b) The RPC will display the "password" prompt. Key in the valid password for the
username entered above and then press [Enter].
Notes:
• The username entered must be a valid username that has been previously
defined via the RPC User Directory as described in Section 5.5.
• The IP Address (host name) can either be the address to the machine that
you are currently communicating with via the Web Browser Interface, or you
can enter the IP address for another RPC unit, providing that the username
entered is present on the other RPC unit too.
3. The RPC will display the Circuit Status Screen, followed by the RPC> command
prompt. You may now invoke RPC commands as descrived in Section 9.2 and 17.
4. To terminate the Telnet Session, type /X and press [Enter].
9.5. Manual Operation
In addition to the command driven functions available via the Web Browser Interface and
Text Interface, some RPC functions can also be controlled manually. For a summary of
front panel control functions, please refer to Section 2.
9.6. Logging Out of Command Mode
When you have finished communicating with the RPC, it is important to always
disconnect using either the "LogOut" link (Web Browser Interface) or the /X command
(Text Interface), rather than by simply closing your browser window or communications
program. When communicating via a PDA, use the PDA's "Close" function to disconnect
and logout.
When you disconnect using the LogOut link or /X command, this ensures that the RPC
has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout
period to elapse before allowing additional connections.
