Getting Started
3.3. Communicating with the TSM/RSM
When properly installed and configured, the TSM/RSM will allow command mode
access via Telnet, Web Browser, SSH client, modem, or local PC. However, in order to
ensure security, both Telnet and Web Browser access are disabled in the default state.
To enable Telnet and/or Web Browser access, please refer to Section 5.9.2.

1. AccessCommandMode:The TSM/RSM includes two separate user interfaces;
the Text Interface and the Web Browser Interface. The Text Interface is available
via Local PC, SSH Client, Telnet, or Modem and can be used to both configure the
TSM/RSM and create connections between ports. The Web Browser interface is
only available via TCP/IP network, and can be used to configure the unit, but cannot
create connections between ports.
a) ViaLocalPC: Start your communications program and then
press [Enter].
b) ViaSSHClient: Start your SSH client, enter the default IP address
(192.168.168.168) for the TSM/RSM and invoke the connect command.
c) ViaWebBrowser: Make certain that Web Browser access is enabled as
described in Section 5.9.2. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser, enter
the default IPv4 format TSM/RSM IP address (192.169.168.168) in the Web
Browser address bar, and then press [Enter].
d) ViaTelnet: Make certain that Telnet access is enabled as described in
Section 5.9.2. Start your Telnet client, and enter the TSM/RSM's default IPv4
format IP address (192.168.168.168).
e) ViaModem: Use your communications program to dial the number for the line
connected to the TSM/RSM’s Phone Line port.
2. Username/PasswordPrompt: A message will be displayed, which prompts you
to enter your username (Login) and password.. The default username is "super"
(all lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also "super". If a valid
username and password are entered, the TSM/RSM will display either the Main
Menu (Web Browser Interface) or the Port Status Screen (SSH, Telnet, or Modem.)
3. ReviewHelpMenu: If you are communicating with the TSM/RSM via the text
interface (SSH, Telnet or Modem), type /H and press [Enter] to display the Help
Menu, which lists all available TSM/RSM commands. Note that the Help Menu is
not available via the Web Browser Interface.
