This chapter explains how to access the EDS-828’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration
functions. There are three ways to access these functions: RS-232 console, Telnet console, and web browser.
The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the EDS-828 to a
PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know IP address for the EDS-828. The Telnet console and web browser
connection methods can be used to access the EDS-828 over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure the EDS-828. In this chapter, we use the Web
Console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the Web Console, Serial
Console, and Telnet Console.
