Using the Telnet Method
1. If you have not already done so, connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from
the network port of a PC or laptop to the cascade port on the Interface
Manager card.
2. Start a Telnet session on the PC or laptop that is connected to the Interface
Manager card via the cascade port:
a. From a command prompt, enter the following:
telnet 192.168.2.1
Note: The above IP address is the IP address of the cascade port. It is not the network
IP address. The cascade IP address is hardcoded into the Interface Manager card and
is separate from the network IP address.
b. At the login prompt, enter the following information:
■ Username: cliadmin
■ Password: clipwd
3. Enter the following command:
show network ipaddress
■ If the IP address is 1.1.1.1, then DHCP mode was either disabled, or unable to
obtain an IP address automatically. Proceed to step 4 to set the IP address.
■ If the IP address is anything other than 1.1.1.1, then DHCP obtained the IP
address automatically. If you choose to keep this IP address, then record it and
proceed to step 5. To change the address, continue with step 4. You will need
the IP address when configuring Command View TL or using the Telnet
interface.
