Starting a
Remote
Console
Session
6-5 Local and Remote Console
To start a remote console session when no operator password is set,
do the following:
Use the telnet command to connect to the printer. At the system
prompt, type
telnet printername
↵
replacing
printername
with the name of the printer you are using.
(This name is assigned by the system administrator in the ETC/
HOSTS file.) Once the console session is opened, you can view the
settings of the QMS
printername
.
When opening a console session, messages like
Trying..
. and
Connected...
appear on the screen to show progress. When the
connection is complete, a prompt with your QMS printer name and
the current printer status appears. The messages you may see when
opening a console session vary according to your system protocol.
For example, if you are using a QMS 4060 Print System, the screen
looks similar to the following:
[b@smith, 35] telnet 4060
↵
Trying 161.33.128.183 ...
Connected to 4060.
Escape character is ’^]’.

With a Password Set
» Note: Passwords can be set or changed only through the printer’s
control panel. See your printer user’s guide for more information on
passwords.
If the operator password is enabled, you are prompted to enter it
before you can use remote console. The password is case-sensitive
and can have up to 16 characters. If you enter an invalid password,
the connection to remote console closes automatically.
This example shows how a session is closed automatically when the
wrong password is used:
