User Manual

MDS 05-4055A01, Rev. A MDS entraNET 900 System Guide (Preliminary) 21
When you arrive at a screen with user-controllable parameter fields, you
select the menu item by keying in an associated letter. If there is a user
definable value, the field will clear to the right of the menu item and you
will be allowed to type in the value you wish to use. Follow this action
by the
ENTER key to save the changes. If you make a mistake or change
your mind before using the
ENTER key, press ESCAPE to restore the pre-
vious value.
In some cases, when you type a letter to select a parameter, you will see
a prompt at the bottom of the screen that says “Choose an Option.” In
these cases, press the keyboard’s
SPACEBAR and you will step through
the available selections. After the desired option appears, press the
ENTER key to save the selection. In some screens, several parameters
may be changed and then saved by a single keystroke. The
ESCAPE key
can be used to cancel the action and restore the previous value.
In most cases, you can press the
ESCAPE key to exit the action without
implementing any changes or to navigate to the next higher level menu.
2.1.5 Logging In and Out of the Embedded
Management System
Logging in via Telnet or a Web Browser
When you use Telnet or a Web browser to communicate with the trans-
ceiver, you will need to know the unit’s IP address, the “User Name”,
and “Password” in advance.
With some Web browsers, the User Name, entraNET
will be filled in. If
it is blank, type in entraNET with a lowercase “i” and capitals N-E-T.
The default user password is
admin in lowercase letters.
NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. Do not use punctuation mark
characters. Use a maximum of eight characters.
Once the User Name and Password have been entered, press
ENTER.
NOTE: It may be necessary to change your IP access to the local area
network to match the one used by the MDS entraNET 900.
(Defaults: IP–192.168.1.1, Netmask–255.255.0.0) You can
identify or verify the transceiver’s IP address using a
terminal-emulator to communicate with the transceiver
through the COM1 Port and then viewing the Starting Informa-
tion Screen.
If you are accessing the entraNET MS via a browser connected to the
LAN port, you will see a sign-in screen similar to the one in Figure 2-5.
