4.3.2 TELNET
Most network equipment and operating systems with a TCP/IP stack also support some kind of
TELNET service server for remote configuration. Security-related shortcomings have limited
TELNET (TErminaL NETwork) usage, although TELNET is still widely used when diagnosing
problems, manually "talking" to other services without specialized client software, and administration
of network elements such as integration and maintenance of core network elements.

either the
'IP Address Configuration with HyperTerminal ' section or ' IP Address Configuration

If your VS-1200 already has the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway set for your
network, you may proceed to the ' Small Form-Factor Plug Module ' section.

Microsoft's
HyperTerminal
application (available on most Windows PCs) or an open source free
software terminal emulator for MS-Windows.
