Telnet Console

4.1.2
NOTE
It is not recommended to change the default IP settings via the Telnet interface. Networking
changes should be done locally via the serial console and then deployed in the field. See the
section above on modifying these networking parameters.
On newer computers, the default telnet function on Windows machines may be disabled. This can be
fixed by following step by step instructions located online. To either confirm that the telnet function is
enabled or properly turned on;
1. Use a program that has a telnet function built in or launch a Windows DOS window.
2. Enter the command telnet <radio IP address>.
i. If the connection fails, perform a ping to the radio's IP address to confirm
ii. If pings fail, then use the serial console to check settings and connectivity.
iii. If the telnet functions, login to the radio.

Initial Startup & Checkout

and configured as described above, operator actions are limited to observing the front panel LED
indicators for proper operation.
If all parameters are correctly set, operation of the radio can be started by following these steps:
1. Apply DC power.
2. Observe the LED status panel for proper indications.
