Starting and Ending a CLI Session
Open a telnet connection from a workstation on your network.
You initiate a telnet connection by issuing the following command from an IP host that supports telnet, for exam-
ple, a personal computer running a telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.
telnet < ip_address >
You must know the IP address of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before you can make a telnet connection to it.
By default, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN interface. You can
use a Web browser to configure the Motorola Netopia® Gateway IP address.
Logging In
The command line interface log-in process emulates the log-in process for a UNIX host. To logon, enter the user-
name and your password.
Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all Motorola Netopia® Gateway settings.
When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the username and the security level asso-
ciated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.
