Accessing the SmartWare CLI task list 56
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 4 • Accessing the CLI
Accessing via a Telnet session
This is the most commonly used and recommended method for connecting to a SmartNode. It is way faster
than console access.The Telnet host accesses the SmartNode via its network interface.
Note If the IP configuration of the Ethernet port (LAN port) is not known or is
incorrectly configured, you will have to use the console interface.
Telnet Procedure
Before you begin to use the CLI to input configuration commands, do the following:
1. Set up the SmartNode as described in the getting started guide included with your SmartNode device.
2. Connect the host (PC) or hub to the SmartNode as described in the getting started guide.
3. Power on your SmartNode and wait until the Run LED lights.
4. Open a Telnet session to the IP address shown in the getting started guide.
5. Proceed with logging in.
Using an alternate TCP listening port for the Telnet server
The following command defines an alternate listening port for the telnet server.
Mode: Configure
Disabling the Telnet server
The telnet server can be disabled using the following command.
Mode: Configure
Logging on
Accessing your SmartNode via the local console port or via a Telnet session opens a login screen. The following
description of the login process is based on a Telnet session scenario but is identical to that used when accessing
via the local console port.
The opening Telnet screen you see resembles that shown in figure 7. The window header bar shows the IP
address of the target SmartNode.
A factory preset administrator account with name administrator and an empty password is available when you
first access the unit. For that reason, use the name administrator after the login prompt and simply press the
<enter> key after the password prompt.
