Chapter 20 Introducing the SMT

252

This chapter explains how to access and navigate the System Management Terminal and gives 

an overview of its menus.

The ZyAIR’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you can 
access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This 
chapter shows you how to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus, how to 
navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT menus.

The following procedure details how to telnet into your ZyAIR.

1 In Windows, click Start (usually in the bottom left corner), Run and then type “telnet 

192.168.1.1” (the default IP address) and click OK. 

2 For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the 

screen displays an asterisk “*” for each character you type.

3 After entering the password you will see the main menu.

Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes (default timeout period) 
after you log in, your ZyAIR will automatically log you out. You will then have to telnet into 
the ZyAIR again. You can use the web configurator or the CI commands to change the 
inactivity time out period. 

The login screen appears after you press [ENTER], prompting you to enter the password, as 
shown next.

For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the screen 
displays an asterisk “*” for each character you type.
