Ping utility (control console)
This option is only available in the control console. It allows you to use Ping,
a network utility, to test the Management Card’s network connection by
seeing if a defined
IP address responds to the Ping utility.
By default, the default gateway
IP address (see TCP/IP) is used. However, you
can use the
IP address of any device known to be running on the network.
FTP Server, Telnet and Web
Each of these options has a setting which enables (by default) or disables
Access, and a Port setting that identifies the
TCP/IP port used for
communications with the Management Card. The default Port settings are 21
(
FTP), 23 (Telnet), and 80 (Web interface).
You can change a Port setting to any port number between 5000 and
65535 to enhance the protection provided by User Name and Password
settings. When you do, you must use a colon (:) to add the Port number to
the
IP or URL address used for access. The selected port number must be
unique. The following examples show what the
FTP, Telnet, and Web
interface commands could look like when the Port numbers for all three
interfaces have been changed from their default settings at a Management
Card with a System
IP address of 159.215.12.114:
ftp 159.215.12.114:5000
telnet 159.215.12.114:59401
http://159.215.12.114:65002

FTP to access a text-version of the Management
Card’s event or Data Log, see How to use FTP to retrieve log files.
