5.2 WhereLAN III Interface

After the WhereLAN III has completed its boot process, it is possible to

communicate with the unit via the following methods.

Do not attempt to communicate with the WhereLAN III it has completed

the first stage of the boot process (i.e., left LED is solid). Doing so will

stop the boot process. The unit must be reset to clear this condition.

These units are configured using:

• SSH (Secure Shell 2) via Ethernet (preferred)

• WhereWand

• Hyperterminal (or any terminal emulation software) via serial port

SSH is the preferred method of communicating with the WhereLAN III.

Use the HyperTerminal is for initial set-up before being installed on a

network for setting static IP addresses, if DHCP is not used. In addition

to SSH, WhereLAN III also supports Telnet, but this protocol is disabled

by default. To use Telnet, you must first enable it via accessing the

WhereLAN III configuration menu via SSH or a serial port connection.

However, enabling Telnet is not recommended as it sends user name and

passwords across the network in the clear.

The Ethernet Communication Parameters are:

• 10/100 Mb/s

• CAT 5 cable/ RJ-45 plug
