Control Console

How To Log On

Overview

You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection with a computer

on the same network (LAN) as the InRow RD to access the control console.

Use case-sensitive user name and password entries to log on (by default, apc and apc for an

Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User). A Read-Only User has no access to the control

console.

If you cannot remember your user name or password, see “How to Recover from a Lost

Password” on page 3.

Remote access to the control console

You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH). Telnet is enabled by default.

Enabling SSH disables Telnet.

To enable or disable these access methods:

• In the Web interface, on the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar, and then

the access option under Console on the left navigation menu.

• In the control console, use the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.

Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and

password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption.

To use Telnet to access the control console:

1. From a computer on the same network as the InRow RD, at a command prompt, type

telnet

and the System IP address for the InRow RD (for example,

telnet 139.225.6.133, when the

InRow RD uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press

ENTER.

If the InRow RD uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 32768), you must include a

colon or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP address (or DNS name) and

the port number.

2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and

apc for a Device User).

SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure

SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords and transmitted data.

The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console

through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program

installed on your computer.
