4. Telnet/SSH Console Most of the monitoring and control features available in the Web console (see Section 3 - Web Console) are also available in the telnet and/or SSH console. Accessing the SNMPWEBCARD through the telnet console is ideal for mobile or resource-limited platforms. Configuring Energywise If you intend to use the SNMPWEBCARD's Energywise facility, refer to the Energywise instruction manual for details on how to configure this interface. This manual is included in the documentation package for the SNMPWEBCARD. Accessing the Telnet Console Open a telnet client and connect to the IP number of the SNMPWEBCARD. At the login prompt, enter a valid user name and password. (A valid user is any user defined locally via RADIUS server. Users defined as SNMP communities with SNMP version V1 or V2 will not be allowed telnet access.) After a successful login, you'll see the telnet console's main menu (Figure 4-1). The Telnet Console Interface The telnet console uses a menu-driven, text-based interface. It has most of the same menus and submenus as the Web console, but they are arranged differently. Figure 4-1: Telnet Console Main Menu Figure 4-2: Telnet Console Device Submenu Each menu can be thought of as one of four types: navigation, summary, detail and data collection. Navigation Menus Navigational Menus allow a user to choose a path down the menu structure. Any data presented on these navigational menus are for information only and will require continuing down into a submenu to make any modifications. Summary Menus Data items that can have multiple instances will also have a summary menu. For example, the Email Recipients will have a summary menu. The summary will display a row for each member with a subset of the data for that object. From the summary, a user may enter an ID number from the list to view/ modify the detail menu for that item. If insert is allowed for the data, the user will be presented with the option to enter '0' as well. When '0' is chosen, the user is then automatically prompted to enter the individual detail menu items. Once all items have been entered, the user will be prompted to save the information, view the information, or abort the insert. Detail Menus The detail menus display the information about a collection of related individual data items. An example of a detail menu would the menu for a single Email Recipient. From the detail menu, a user will be given the option to choose to modify the individual data items. When allowed, deletes will be done from the detail menus. Some detail menus will immediately update the data as entered and others will collect all the data changes and require the user to explicitly save the data in one operation. Those that require an explicit save will present an 'A' option to apply the changes. If a user has pending changes and attempts to leave the menu, an indication that the changes have not been saved will be presented and give the user the option to save or abort the changes. Data Collection Menus Data collection menus allow a user to enter values for an individual data item. For example, the menu to update an Email Recipient's email address would be a data collection menu. These menus do not have any submenus. Menu Permissions The menu descriptions in this documentation will assume that the user has Read/Write permissions to all of the data. Not all users will have this level of authorization. The data displayed and the options presented to a given user will be dependent upon that user's permissions. A user will only be presented with data and options to the data that he or she is allowed to access. A more detailed discussion of user permissions can be found in the discussion on Local User definitions later in the document. Note: The menu examples were generated using one specific device model. Because the content of many of the device specific menus will vary based upon the device and protocol, these are simply examples to give an idea of the type of data displayed here and how it is formatted. The contents of these menus should not necessarily be expected to be displayed unless it is explicitly stated that the setting apply for all device types. 26

4. Telnet/SSH Console
Most of the monitoring and control features available in the Web console
(see
Section 3 – Web Console
) are also available in the telnet and/or
SSH console. Accessing the SNMPWEBCARD through the telnet console
is ideal for mobile or resource-limited platforms.
Configuring Energywise
If you intend to use the SNMPWEBCARD’s Energywise facility, refer to
the Energywise instruction manual for details on how to configure this
interface. This manual is included in the documentation package for the
SNMPWEBCARD.
Accessing the Telnet Console
Open a telnet client and connect to the IP number of the SNMPWEBCARD.
At the login prompt, enter a valid user name and password. (A valid user
is any user defined locally via RADIUS server. Users defined as SNMP
communities with SNMP version V1 or V2 will not be allowed telnet
access.) After a successful login, you’ll see the telnet console’s main
menu (Figure 4-1).
The Telnet Console Interface
The telnet console uses a menu-driven, text-based interface. It has most
of the same menus and submenus as the Web console, but they are
arranged differently.
Figure 4-1: Telnet Console Main Menu
Figure 4-2: Telnet Console Device Submenu
Each menu can be thought of as one of four types: navigation, summary, detail and data collection.
Navigation Menus
Navigational Menus allow a user to choose a path down the menu
structure. Any data presented on these navigational menus are for
information only and will require continuing down into a submenu to
make any modifications.
Summary Menus
Data items that can have multiple instances will also have a summary
menu. For example, the Email Recipients will have a summary menu.
The summary will display a row for each member with a subset of the
data for that object.
From the summary, a user may enter an ID number from the list to view/
modify the detail menu for that item. If insert is allowed for the data, the user
will be presented with the option to enter ‘0’ as well. When ‘0’ is chosen,
the user is then automatically prompted to enter the individual detail menu
items. Once all items have been entered, the user will be prompted to save
the information, view the information, or abort the insert.
Detail Menus
The detail menus display the information about a collection of related
individual data items. An example of a detail menu would the menu for
a single Email Recipient. From the detail menu, a user will be given the
option to choose to modify the individual data items. When allowed,
deletes will be done from the detail menus.
Some detail menus will immediately update the data as entered and others
will collect all the data changes and require the user to explicitly save the
data in one operation. Those that require an explicit save will present an ‘A’
option to apply the changes. If a user has pending changes and attempts
to leave the menu, an indication that the changes have not been saved will
be presented and give the user the option to save or abort the changes.
Data Collection Menus
Data collection menus allow a user to enter values for an individual data
item. For example, the menu to update an Email Recipient’s email address
would be a data collection menu. These menus do not have any submenus.
Menu Permissions
The menu descriptions in this documentation will assume that the user
has Read/Write permissions to all of the data. Not all users will have this
level of authorization.
The data displayed and the options presented to a given user will be
dependent upon that user’s permissions. A user will only be presented
with data and options to the data that he or she is allowed to access.
A more detailed discussion of user permissions can be found in the
discussion on Local User definitions later in the document.
Note:
The menu examples were generated using one specific device model.
Because the content of many of the device specific menus will vary based
upon the device and protocol, these are simply examples to give an idea
of the type of data displayed here and how it is formatted. The contents of
these menus should not necessarily be expected to be displayed unless it is
explicitly stated that the setting apply for all device types.
