To adjust certain parameters on Power Core, you may need to open a telnet session to the control system.
Opening a Connection to the System
1. The simplest way is to open SoP Explorer (as described earlier) and click on the "run telnet application" icon in the Toolbar.
If the telnet window does not appear, then the "Telnet Client" option may be disabled in Windows. This can be remedied by turning on the Telnet Client option in your Windows Control Panel.
If the Telnet Client option is activated and a Telnet session still does not appear, then try disabling any Anti-virus or Firewall applications running on the PC.
2. When prompted, enter the login name: "root" (press ENTER), and password "tomtom" (press ENTER).
Note that the telnet password can be changed from the Power Core Web UI (via the System -> Control tab) in Administrator mode.
The session opens, and you will see the command prompt for the control system.
Useful Commands
Once you see the command prompt, the following commands can be entered. In each case, type in the syntax and press ENTER.
- "sys_rb" - reboots the system (warm start).
- "ttrace" - enables/disables logging messages (as described below).
Displaying Logging Messages via Telnet
The "ttrace" command can be used to display logging messages in the Telnet window.
1. Type "ttrace" after the command prompt.
2. Open the System → Logging tab in the Web UI, and select the messages you wish to view (using the Telnet tick boxes).
3. To turn off the display of logging messages, type the same syntax "trrace".
