Viewing and changing Telnet options
Telnet options are used when an individual device’s Properties dialog box (Telnet tab) has the Use
Default checkbox enabled.
You may designate the built-in Serial Console Viewer as the Telnet client or you may specify another
Telnet application. When you specify the built-in application, you may choose to open the window
before login to troubleshoot login scripts. See
Using Login Scripts on page 54 for more information.
When you indicate a user-specified Telnet application, you may include its command line
arguments. A selection of macros is available for placement in the command line; this may be
useful for automatic replacement of variables such as IP address, port number, username and
password. For Telnet commands that do not provide their own GUI, such as those for standard
Windows, Linux and Unix, you may have the Telnet application launch from within an OS
command window.
To view or change Telnet options:
1. Select Tools - Options from the Explorer menu. The Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Telnet tab.
3. Enable/disable the Launch built-in application checkbox. When enabled, the built-in Serial
Console Viewer application will be used to connect to a unit, if it supports Telnet connections
and if the unit’s properties do not override it.
If you enable the
Launch built-in application checkbox, you may also enable/disable the Open
Window before login checkbox. When enabled, the Serial Console Viewer Telnet window will
open before any login attempt is made to the device. This feature is useful when debugging a
login script, and is usually disabled otherwise. For more information, see
Using Login Scripts
on page 54.
4. Enable/disable the Launch user-specified application checkbox. When enabled, the Telnet
application specified in the box below the checkbox will be used, if it supports Telnet connec-
tions and if the unit’s properties do not override it.
