To do this, you must use Telnet client software.TheCyberSWITCH has default IP addresses configured to allow Telnet access. The default LAN IPaddress is 1.1.1.1. To access the CyberSWITCH you must set the device’s IP address to be on thesame subnet as the CyberSWITCH. We recommend that you use 1.1.1.2 and do this on a LAN thatis not connected to the internet. Then place the CyberSWITCH on the LAN and Telnet to theaddress.This default address allows immediate access to the system for installation purposes. Be sure tochange this IP address as soon as possible to one on your local subnet.Note: Do NOT place more than one CyberSWITCH on a LAN with the default setting. With bothhaving the same IP address, unpredictable results will occur.You may also Telnet in via the WAN connection. The general procedures are:1. Connect the system to the (WAN) ISDN line.2. From a remote device that supports unnumbered IP connections, dial in as a PPP CHAP deviceUSER1 (USER1 as secret). Provide Telnet with the CyberSWITCH address.3. From a remote device only supporting numbered IP connections, set up an IP Address 2.2.2. 3and have it dial as a PPP CHAP device USER2 (USER2 as secret). Provide Telnet with theCyberSWITCH address of 2.2.2.2.After you make a Telnet connection, you will be presented with a login prompt. Proceed toEstablishing an Administrative Session.For more information on Telnet, refer to the Remote Management chapter.
