2. At the ‘>’ prompt, enter the following command: TELNET <IP address>

where

<IP address> is the IP address of the bridge. This will start a

Telnet session for the bridge. On Windows NT, a separate Telnet session

window will appear.

3. Enter

[root] for the default user name and [password] for the default

password. It is recommended that you change the user name and

password as soon as possible. See Ethernet Connection on page 64 for

more information on setting up user names and passwords.

4. Access configuration options the same way you would for the serial

interface.

5. To exit the Telnet session on HP-UX, simply close the window. On

Windows NT, you may select the disconnect option from your Telnet client

utility. In most Telnet utilities, this option is available as a menu item.

Web Management Interface

The bridge allows any standard Internet Web browser to view and change the

bridge configuration. Information is dynamically generated in an HTML format

by the bridge so that Web browsers can access it.

To access the Web interface, enter the IP address of the bridge into the address

field of a Web browser. Or, you can enter a URL using a host name defined by

the user.

To make changes to settings, use standard keyboard and mouse controls to

input information and then select the

[Submit] button to send the changes to

the bridge.

A user name and password are required before any changes can be

submitted. The default user name is

[root] and the default password is

[password]. It is recommended that you change the user name and password

as soon as possible. See Ethernet Connection on page 64 for more

information on setting up user names and passwords.

Changes will not take effect until the next time the bridge reboots, but the

bridge can be forced to reboot by selecting the

[reboot] option from the Main

menu.
