To set the IP address, or range of IP addresses, of the remote computers that are allowed
to use Telnet to access the base station:
set telnet remote {IPaddress | IPaddress mask}
where:
IPaddress is the IP address of the computer that is allowed to use Telnet to access the base
station.
IPaddress mask is a mask for a range IP addresses that are allowed to use Telnet to access
the base station.
4 If you want to change the Telnet timeout from the factory default of 5 minutes:
set telnet timeout {time}
where {time} is the time, in seconds, that the Telnet session is allowed to sit idle before the
session ends.
5 Before you can telnet to the base station, you need to set the base station’s IP address.
a To set the base station’s IP address, at a NNOS prompt, type:
set IP address {IPaddress}
where:
IPaddress is the IP address of the base station.
b To determine the base station’s address, use Terminal emulation over a serial line
connection to the base station. At a term connection’s NNOS prompt:
show IP address
Remember the base station’s IP address. You will need it later if you want to use Telnet
a web browser, or SNMP session to configure or monitor the base station.
Note: If you have assigned names to your base stations, you can also use the “show name”
command to determine the base station’s name. Then, you can telnet to the base station
using its name. For further information, refer to the section “Recommended parameter
changes” on page 5-42 in this guide.
6 For changed settings to take effect, you must write the changes to Flash memory and then
restart the base station.
a At the NNOS command prompt, type
write .
b At the next NNOS command prompt, type
reboot .
