4 Telnet/SSH Serial Interface

The Telnet/SSH interface was designed to be used mostly for various maintenance tasks such as software

updates. The interface was designed to provide an easy and convenient interface for IT managers who are

used to Telnet/SSH. To simplify Telnet/SSH usage, all of the Telnet/SSH interface is menu-driven based,

eliminating the need to learn and remember complicated text commands.

Telnet: Provides unsecured unit serial interface over the Network.

SSH: Provides secured unit serial interface over the Network.

NOTE:

 Only one remote user can access the unit over Telnet/SSH at any given time. In case a second

remote Telnet/SSH user tries to access the unit while the first Telnet/SSH session is still active, a

short message will appear to the second Telnet/SSH user requesting the user to try and

reconnect over Telnet/SSH a little later.

 Non-active Telnet/SSH session (no keystrokes by remote user) will be terminated automatically

after three minutes.

 Telnet/SSH is password protected, and shares the same username/password as for Web access.

4.1 Telnet/SSH – Main Menu

Figure 4-1: Telnet/SSH Main Menu

The Main Menu offers three options. All the View options are under the View menu. All the configuration and

maintenance options (such as software updates, upload/download configurations) are under Configuration. The

third option is Ping which should be used to resolve and test network connectivity issues.

NOTE:

To easily identify the unit being accessed over Telnet/SSH (useful especially whenever the user has

multiple units), the unit hostname string is shown to the right of the Main Menu title (My-Device in the

example above)
