Basic Configuration
To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:
Note: When communicating with the unit for the first time, you will not be
able to contact the unit via Telnet, until you have accessed command mode,
via Local PC or SSH Client, and used the Network Parameters Menu to enable
Telnet as described in Section 5.9.
1. Contact the RPC Unit:
a) ViaLocalPC: Start your communications program and press [Enter]. Wait
for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.
b) ViaNetwork: The RPC includes a default IP address (192.168.168.168) and a
default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) This allows you to contact the unit from
any network node on the same subnet, without first assigning an IP Address to
the unit. For more information, please refer to Section 5.9.
i. ViaSSHClient: Start your SSH client, and enter the RPC IP Address.
Invoke the connect command, wait for the connect message, then
proceed to Step 2.
ii. ViaTelnet: Start your Telnet Client, and then Telnet to the RPC IP Address.
Wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.
c) ViaModem: Use your communications program to dial the number for the
external modem which you have connected to the RPC Console Port.
2. Login/PasswordPrompt: A message will be displayed, which prompts you to
enter a username (login name) and password. The default username is "super" (all
lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also "super".
3. If a valid username and password are entered, the RPC will display the Circuit
Status Screen.
5.1.2. The Web Browser Interface
The Web Browser Interface consists of a series of web forms, which can be used to
select configuration parameters and perform reboot operations, by clicking on buttons
and/or entering text into designated fields.
Note: In order to use the Web Browser Interface, Web Access must first be
enabled via the Text Interface Network Parameters Menu (/N), the RPC must
be connected to a TCP/IP network, and your PC must be equipped with a
JavaScript enabled web browser.
1. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser, key the RPC IP address
(default = 192.168.168.168) into the web browser’s address bar, and press [Enter].
2. Username/PasswordPrompt: A message box will prompt you to enter your
username and password. The default username is "super" (all lower case, no
quotes), and the default password is also "super".
3. If a valid username and password are entered, the Circuit Control Screen will be
displayed.
