Telnet access is a powerful feature that allows management of the radio
via an Ethernet connection. This may be done locally, using a short
cable connected to the management PC, or could be performed at any
distance using an IP/Ethernet network connection. Telnet access is also
possible over the air if the Ethernet Bridging feature is enabled (see Page
64). Any user with the IP address of the radio can log in to the unit with
this method. The Telnet menus are identical to the screens described in
this section of the manual.
The default setting is to allow Telnet access to the radio. In some cases,
you may not wish to allow access for security or operational reasons. To
change the Telnet Access setting, proceed as follows:
1. Select
