Moxa DA-710-LX [15/69] Operating your da 710 xpe computer with a telnet client

DA-710 XPE User’s Manual Software Configuration

Operating Your DA-710-XPE Computer with a Telnet Client

Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect your development workstation directly to the target

computer, or use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the computer to a LAN hub or switch.

Next, use a telnet client on your development workstation to connect to the Telnet console utility

of the target computer. After a connection has been established, type the login name and password

as requested to log on to the computer.

After logging in through the Telnet client, a list of commands will be available for operating the

computer. Use HELP to display all of the commands, or type HELP [command name] to display

extended help for the selected command. Some of these commands, such as DATE and TIME, are

very useful for managing the computer’s system time. Other commands, such as DIR and MKDIR,

are good utilities for file management. For example, to inspect the file structure of the root

directory, type DIR.

NOTE: The default user id is “administrator” and the default password is not set; you need to

create a new password for this account to use this telnet client.

NOTE: There is a connection limitation on using Telnet clients. You are only allowed to create

connections with two Telnet clients at the same time.

NOTE: Before using Telnet, do the following steps to verify that TCP Port 23 is open:

1. Click on Start Æ Control Panel. Double-click on Windows Firewall.
