MDS iNET 900 - Logging in and out of the Embedded Management System; Logging in Via Telnet or a Web Browser

22 MDS iNET 900 User’s Guide MDS 05-2806A01, Rev. A
When you arrive at a screen with user-controllable parameter fields, you
select the menu item by keying in an associated letter. If there is a user
definable value, the field will clear to the right of the menu item and you
will be allowed to type in the value you wish to use. Follow this action
by the
ENTER key to save the changes. If you make a mistake or change
your mind before using the
ENTER key, press ESCAPE to restore the pre-
vious value.
In some cases, when you type a letter to select a parameter, you will see
a prompt at the bottom of the screen that says “Choose an Option.” In
these cases, press the keyboard’s
SPACEBAR and you will step through
the available selections. After the desired option appears, press the
ENTER key to save the selection. In some screens, several parameters
may be changed and then saved by a single keystroke. The
ESCAPE key
can be used to cancel the action and restore the previous value.
In most cases, you can press the
ESCAPE key to exit the action without
implementing any changes or to navigate to the next higher level menu.
2.1.5 Logging In and Out of the Embedded
Management System
Logging in via Telnet or a Web Browser
When you use Telnet or a Web browser to communicate with the iNET
unit, you will need to know the unit’s IP address, the “User Name”, and
“Password” in advance.
With some Web browsers, the default User Name,
iNET will be filled in.
If it is blank, type in
iNET with a lowercase “i” and capital N-E-T. The
default user password is
admin in lowercase letters.
NOTE: User names and passwords are case sensitive. Do not use punc-
tuation mark characters. Use a maximum of eight characters.
Once the User Name and Password have been entered, press
ENTER.
NOTE: It may be necessary to change your IP access to the local area
network to match the one used by the MDS iNET 900.
(Defaults: IP–192.168.1.1, Netmask–255.255.0.0) You can
identify or verify the iNET 900’s IP address using a
terminal-emulator to communicate with the iNET 900 through
the COM1 Port and then viewing the Starting Information
Screen.
If you are accessing the iNET MS via a browser connected to the
LAN
port, you will see a sign-in screen similar to the one in Figure 2-4.
