Telnet tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality
of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the
ISM 824 via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the ISM 824 using the Open command. Once your computer is
connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would
if you were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the ISM 824 as follows:
1
.
At the Telnet prompt, type
open {IP address}
and then press Enter.
If the switcher is not password protected
, no further prompts are displayed
until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISM 824.
If the switcher is password protected
, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2
.
If necessary, at the password prompt, type in your password and then press
Enter.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected.
There are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A
person logged on as an administrator has full access to all ISM 824 switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for
output, select test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and
view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the ISM 824
ships with both passwords set to {carriage return}.
Once you are logged in, the switcher returns either
Login Administrator
or
Login User
. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect
the connection to the ISM 824.
Escape character and Esc key
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the
Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’
.
Many SIS commands include the keyboard
E
key. Consequently, some confusion
may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.
The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the
Ctrl
key and the
]
key
pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the
connection to the ISM 824 intact.
The Escape key is the
E
key on the computer keyboard.
