APWeb Instruction Manual
To reset the user name and password to their default values:
1.
Flip the Service switch up or to the right to place it in Service mode (FIG. 8).
2. Log on to the Admin Home page, using the Admin user name and password (default: super and
super).
3. From any page in the site, click the Configuration link.
4. On the APWeb Configuration page, click Reboot APWeb.
5. Wait approximately 20 to 30 seconds; then flip the Service switch down or to the left to
automatically reboot and return to normal functioning.
6. Optional – If you do not want to use the default values, enter new user names and passwords by
following the steps on page 5.
7. Optional – Enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask (see page 4).
Opening a Telnet Session
Important: Before a Telnet session can be opened, the Telnet option must be enabled under the
Enable/Disable Product Services options on the APWeb Administration page (see page 8).
A Telnet session for controlling the routing system with BCS commands can be opened by clicking the
Launch Telnet Session button on the Diagnostics page. The button opens the PC’s default terminal
emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal on Windows). A Telnet session may also be launched outside
of the APWeb server as a direct connection by specifying the correct IP address and port number.
Note: The Diagnostics page also allows you to enter a test BCS (Basic Control Structure) command
(see page 7) and view Communication Statistics.
Since only one client at a time can initiate a Telnet session, other clients who try to use Telnet or the
XBar Controller will be notified that they cannot control the system until the initial session is closed.
When site security is turned on (the default setting), the Admin user name and password are required to
log into this service.
To open a Telnet session:
1.
From any page in the site, click the Diagnostics link.
2. Click Launch Telnet Session to open your terminal emulation program.
3. Enter your APWeb Admin user name and password.
The program is ready to accept BCS commands.
