73.24.1. How to change default IP address of Ethernet modem by telnet

This is useful when you have multiple Ethernet modems connected to the same Abilis.

[Note]Note

The default IP address is 192.168.168.168/28.

[Note]Note

The default user is admin and password is VuDi218.

  1. Open a TELNET connection from Abilis to Ethernet modem, typing the following commands:

    [16:13:17] ABILIS_1:   <- type Ctrl+P to access to the TELNET server prompt of ABILIS.
    
    [192.168.1.1] TELNETS>clr
    
    CLR 00 00
    
    [192.168.1.1] TELNETS>1-tln   <- to access to the TELNET client prompt of ABILIS.
    COM
    
    [192.168.1.1] TELNETC>open 192.168.168.168    <- to open a connection to the Ethernet modem.
    Trying 192.168.168.168 ... Open

  2. Change the default IP address of Ethernet modem with new IP 192.168.168.169/28:

    > lan config --ipaddr primary 192.168.168.169 255.255.255.240
    > 
    [Caution]Caution

    The change will start immediately, which will lead to the disconnection of the telnet session to the modem.

  3. Reconnect to new IP address of Ethernet modem and save the configuration:

    [192.168.1.1] TELNETC>open 192.168.168.169    <- to open a connection to the Ethernet modem.
    Trying 192.168.168.169 ... Open
    ^ABCM963381 Broadband Router
    Login: admin
    Password:  
     > save
    config saved.
     >
    [Important]Important

    If you do not save the configuration after reboot, the modem will lose the modification you made.
