27 Telnet-Based Functions
Telnet access to the SMP Gateway provides you with a command line prompt for running tools
and low-level commands on the SMP Gateway. Telnet tools are gradually being replaced by
Windows-based tools. If you feel more at ease with the command line interface, you can use the
following commands:
FirewallMgr (Firewall Manager)
Time and Date.
TCP/IP address and RAS setup, as described in each device's installation manual.
SnmpMgr (SNMP Manager), as described in section 20.2, page 193.
ClockMgr (Clock Manager).
27.1 Starting a Telnet Session
All the aforementioned commands can be called on a Telnet session’s command line. To start a
Telnet session, proceed as follows:
If the SMP Gateway’s firewall is active, pre-establish the VPN connection, by following the
procedure described in the “Manually Setting Up a VPN Connection” section, page 103.
Click your SMP Gateway in the SMP Manager’s application window; from the Tools menu,
click Telnet to start a Telnet session.
In the Telnet window, type the username and password of a user account that has the System
Management privilege.
You can now execute any of the Telnet commands that are described in the following sections.
27.2 Firewall Manager
Since version 4 of the SMP Gateway Software & Tools, the firewall is configured using SMP
Config. Firewall Manager can now only be used to view the firewall’s current status and custom
rules.
