3. Introduction
3.1
General
ECOTEL® VTMpro is a LINUX based gateway for interconnection between fixed and
mobile network. The embedded controlling intelligence runs without a face within the
LINUX system. The controlling intelligence further in context, also called as gateway,
routing engine or LCR, has a network interface for remote controlling. There is a GUI
available using this interface. The GUI has two compilations: One for LINUX and one for
WINDOWS. The LINUX version is also installed on the ECOTEL® VTMpro and can be
started there to control the local gateway or the gateway from a different ECOTEL®
VTMpro within the network.
3.2
Controlling the ECOTEL® VTMpro local and LINUX environment
To start the ServiceGear on local ECOTEL® VTMpro follow the instruction:
1. Connect a console (Monitor, Keyboard Mouse) to the gateway. For connecting the
keyboard and mouse the delivered adapter must be used
2. After the boot sequence login with following default parameters:
User: vierling
Password: vierling
3. A gear-wheel icon “ECOTEL® VTMpro ServiceGear” appears on the desktop.
Click ion this symbol to start the maintenance GUI.
4. Choose the gateway symbol from the vertical icon bar and press connect. By
default the local machine can be accessed by the name “localhost”, no password
is given.
A
TTENTION
For security reason the password should be changed.
5. To connect to the local gateway press the “Connect” button.
3.3
Controlling the ECOTEL® VTMpro from WINDOWS environment
To control the ECOTEL® VTMpro from WINDOW the specific software must be installed,
which is explained in next chapter.
