Establishing a Telnet Connection

A-4  

This method opens a Telnet connection to the Terminal Configurator on port 23. Port 23 is 
the default for most Telnet programs. This only works after the Ethernet Adapter is 
assigned a TCP/IP address. If you need to assign the Ethernet Adapter an IP address you 
need to use the Ethernet Adapter Manager or the Terminal Configurator using a direct serial 
connection.

To establish a Telnet connection, perform the following steps:

Click on the Start menu and select Run…

Enter telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the 
unit you want to configure.

The Terminal Configurator appears on the screen. You have now successfully 
opened a telnet connection to Terminal Configurator!

Once you have established a connection to the Terminal Configurator, the Main Menu 
screen appears.

•

Use the arrow keys to move the highlighted bar. If the arrow keys don’t work, 
you can move the bar by holding down the Ctrl key while pressing N (for 
Next) and P (for Previous) to move the bar. To select an entry, press the Enter 
key.

•

To modify the configuration, as described in the following sections, select the 
menu item Edit configuration. Another menu, listing available files to edit, 
is displayed. Selecting one of them will bring up an editor that you can use to 
modify the file. File selection and editor operation are described below.

•

After you have finished configuring the Ethernet Adapter, select the Reset 
the Unit menu item, and then answer Yes to the confirmation. This resets the 
device, allowing the new configuration to take effect as well as place it into 
operating mode. Now you are ready to use your new configuration.
