Linux Console

The AlphaCom E runs a [Linux] distribution from MontaVista, kernel version 2.4.<br\> Linux uses a command line interface (CLI).

When do I need to use the Linux Console?

  • Ping devices on the network
  • File image update
  • Access to the file system

The Linux Console can be accessed on two ways:

  • Via the ethernet port using ”telnet”
  • Via serial port 1


Linux Console - Telnet

Start the Windows command line

Type telnet <AMC IP-adress>

Username: alpha
Password: com
The Telnet port (23) is by default disabled in the firewall


Linux Console – Serial Port

Use a terminal program (like HyperTerminal) connected to serial port 1<br\> Communication parameters:

  • 115.200 baud
  • No parity
  • 8 databits
  • 1 stop bit

Turning AMC dipswitch S601-1 ON disables AlphaPro over IP

Some Linux commands

ping <IP-address> (Checks communication against external device)<br\>
ps -A (List running processes)
ls -l (list files)
/sbin/ifconfig (list IP adresses etc of ethernet ports)

Access the AMC-IP via FTP Client

AlphaCom E supports FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol). FTP client (like Windows Commander) looks and acts very much like the Windows Explorer. The FTP ports (20:21) are by default disabled in the firewall.
