Title: DCS-942L telnet access?
Post by: evilslon on January 20, 2013, 04:45:58 AM
Hello to everybody! A question to D-Link employees or anybody who have this information: I've get telnet access to my DCS-942L, but i can't log in because of wrong login/password. Neither newly created or changed admin's login/pass nor user's login/pass is not working! Which is default telnet login and password then?

Can you explain about telnet access? How you can do it? Version of firmware?

You don't know what is telnet? There's nothing to explain, just read the related wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet). I'm using latest firmware available atm (ver 1.12).

Btw i already got the access to my camera via telnet (i was very curious to see the camera's internal file structure), as i found it's pretty easy, all you need is just start telnet daemon (http://CamIPAdress/cgi/admin/telnetd.cgi?command=on), next you can get access using Putty or other terminal emulator and login into camera's linux shell (user: root, pass: admin).

P.S. Don't forget to stop the daemon after you stop working with camera (http://CamIPAdress/cgi/admin/telnetd.cgi?command=off)
