Overview 
The Craft port on the transponder is typically used as a local connection point, 
allowing the user to connect directly to the unit. However, the Craft port is a fully 
functional, standard Ethernet port, so it can also provide all of the functionality of 
any standard Ethernet connection. 
When using a local, direct connection to the transponder, the technician has the 
option of communicating with the transponder either via a web browser interface or 
using a Telnet console session. Both connection processes are discussed in the 
sections that follow. See Using the Web Interface (on page 43) for more detailed 
information on using the transponder web interface. 
Important: Console access is intended for use by factory trained technicians. It is not 
recommended for use by technicians in the field.
