GE 23954 Manuel D’Utilisation

The console interface can also be accessed remotely from any computer on the same subnet using 
either Telnet or SSH (under the hypothesis that the relevant service is running and enabled for the 
selected user). 
 
TELNET 
Telnet provides basic user authentication. The SNMP/Web adapter uses the standard telnet port. 
To start a Telnet session and connect to the adapter: 

•  Launch a telnet client (e.g. on a PC running Windows, select Run from the Start menu and type 

telnet <IP>)  

•  The default username (login) and password are ge and ge 
•  A command-line configuration interface is entered 

 
SSH 
SSH (Secure SHell) combines user authentication with encryption, to provide a higher degree of 
communication security. In any case, the user access rights are the same regardless of the 
service/interface used. 
Below is a sample SSH session using a popular SSH client (putty): 

•  Start the SSH client application (putty.exe) 

 

o 

In the Host Name section specify the card hostname or the IP address 

o 

In the Connection Type section select SSH 

o 

Select Open to launch the SSH session 

 

NOTES 

The SNMP/Web adapters use the standard SSH port  

The SNMP/Web adapters support both SSH v1 and SSH v2  
Normally, no further settings are required. In any case, SSH protocol and version settings 
are accessible on putty on the SSH category on the left-hand side menu
