Logging In to the Device over a Network Port Using PuTTY

Use PuTTY to remotely log in to the device over a local area network (LAN) and configure and maintain the device.
- Visit the chiark website and download the PuTTY software from the homepage.
- PuTTY of an earlier version may cause device login failures. You are advised to use PuTTY of the latest version.
Procedure
- Set an IP address and a subnet mask or add route information for the PC to communicate with the device.
You can run the Ping device_IP_address command on the PC CLI to check the communication.
- Double-click PuTTY.exe.
The PuTTY Configuration window is displayed, as shown in Figure 7-22.
- In the navigation tree, choose Session.
