5.2 SETTING UP TELNET ON YOUR ROBOT
5.2.1 Telnet Setup
You will need to configure the Telnet option before you can use your robot as a Telnet server. Use Procedure 5-1 to set up Telnet on your robot.
The Telnet server uses default passwords and access levels to authenticate attempts to log in. These passwords and access levels are in effect until you override them from the Telnet screen. The default passwords and access levels are shown in Table 5.2.1(a) .
Table 5.2.1(a) Telnet default passwords and access levels
USERNAME ACCESS LEVEL DEFAULT PASSWORD
tpdisplay Output rj3_tpd
kcl Input uninitialized
NOTE
Login names and passwords are case sensitive .
Valid Telnet Devices and Login IDs
Several parameters are used to configure the Telnet option for your robot. Table 5.2.1(b) lists and describes the valid devices and login IDs, which are also parameters you must define on the Telnet Setup Screen.
NOTE
If the robot has an iPendant attached, then you cannot connect to the tpdisplay
device on the controller (the login attempt will fail and an error message will be
sent to the client).

5.2.2 Connecting to a Telnet Server
After you have set up the Telnet feature, you can use it to connect to a Telnet server. Use Procedure 5-2 to connect to a Telnet server.
More security measures, in addition to passwords, are available to control remote access into the robot.
Telnet supports the FANUC Server Access Control (FSAC) feature, which decides which remote hosts (PCs) are allowed to connect into the robot. Refer to Section 2.5 for more information on setting up FSAC for Telnet.
Procedure 5-2 Connecting to a Telnet Server
Steps
1. From your PC or UNIX workstation, start a standard Telnet client window, or from a command prompt type the following:
C:\>telnet <robothost>
Where <robothost> is the host name or IP address of the robot to which you want to connect.
2. After a Telnet connection has been established, you will see the following message on the screen of your PC or UNIX workstation:
RJ3 Telnet (Robot: <robothostname> F No: F-xxxxx) Login:
3. From your PC or UNIX workstation, type a valid login name for the device to which you want to connect and press ENTER. Refer to Table 5.2.1(a) for a list of valid login names.
4. Type your password and press ENTER.
5. If you have entered a valid login ID and password, your PC or UNIX workstation will be connected to the device selected in Step 3 .
NOTE
Login names and passwords are case sensitive.
6 WEB SERVER
6.1 OVERVIEW
The web server application allows you to access files on the robot using a standard web browser. This includes files on the robot memory device (MD:), as well as other file devices on the robot such as FR:
and RD:. The memory device includes error logs, diagnostic data, and ASCII translations of system and program variables. The server can also be customized by including a unique home page.
The main purpose of the web browser is to provide easy access to robot programs and status information.
