It is also used to retrieve status about the system. See [Web Portal](/other-pages/other/web-portal.md) for more information. ### SSH The SSH connection is used to manage the device for operations, such as [changing the management IP address](/operations-and-support/troubleshooting/software/troubleshooting-toolpack/change-management-ip-address.md), modifying the default password of the management interface, or for advanced troubleshooting. [Putty](http://www.putty.org/) is a common tool for accessing devices using SSH. With this tool, you need to enter the IP address of the management port and select the SSH connection type (default TCP port is 22). From any linux server, you can use the SSH command line option. Other tools are also available. See 'Connecting to the Management Interface' of your product [installation guide](/products/tmedia/installation/product-installation.md) for more information. ### Serial Connection The serial connection is used when the SSH connection is unavailable, or for advanced troubleshooting operations. [Putty](http://www.putty.org/) can be used to access the serial port using standard parameters: 9600-8-N-1. See 'Connecting to the Serial Port' of your product [installation guide](/products/tmedia/installation/product-installation.md) for more information. ### Related Links * [Password Less SSH](/other-pages/operations/password-less-ssh.md) * [How to setup SSH tunnel with Putty](/operations-and-support/troubleshooting/software/troubleshooting-toolpack/how-to-setup-ssh-tunnel-with-putty.md) * [Installation guides](/products/tmedia/installation/product-installation.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://tmediadocs.telcobridges.com/other-pages/operations/accessing-device.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
