5.3.1 Secure login
NETIO-230B supports two login modes – open login and login with encrypted password. Encrypted
password can be used for Telnet, http and serial link control. Login via web interface is encrypted
automatically.
For secure login you first need to obtain the hash code from the device. You can obtain this code in
a return code after the connection via KSHELL, and/or CGI command hash.
14

Figure 14:
Figure 15:
To calculate the proper encrypted login password MD5 hash function is used: <user-
name><password><hash>. It is 128-bit number transmitted as 32-digit hexadecimal number.
5.3.2 Communication via KSHELL interface
To connect to your NETIO-230B please follow these steps:
1. Open command prompt
2. Enter the command telnet 192.168.10.100 1234 (replace the address with the address of your
device, replace 1234 with the output set on the Netio for KSHELL)
15

3. The device should give you the reply like: 100 HELLO EB5D61F6 The last 8 characters constitute
the hash code needed for secure login with encrypted password.
4. You can login now by entering command login name password, where name is the user name and
password is your password. If you entered correct name and password the device should reply
250 OK. Now you are logged in and you can use commands to control your NETIO-230B.
Each communication session via KSHELL interface has limited validity. In case of no response for
about one minute, the session is terminated automatically. If you need to keep the session active, you
can use the command noop.
5.3.3 List of commands for control via KSHELL
