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 5.9.2.
1. Contact the VMR or NPS 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 VMR/NPS 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 VMR/NPS 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 VMR/NPS 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 VMR/NPS Setup 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 VMR or NPS will display the Plug
Status Screen.
Note: If a Login Banner has been defined as described in Section 5.3, then a
banner page will appear before the command prompt is displayed. The Login
Banner can be used to display legal warnings or other information.
