Opening a Telnet Session
The wireless station can telnet to any host that supports
the VT/ANSI, TN3270, or TN5250 data stream.
To open a telnet session:
1. At the IP Menu, press 4" and then [Enter]. The
following screen appears:
Enter hostname
or press
<ENTER> for
default host
HOST–>
2. Type the host name or IP address to telnet to and
press [Enter].
The 6950 EGS attempts to connect to the host (it
shows the IP address it is trying). If the host does not
respond because of a faulty connection path, is not
prepared for telnet, or is down, the 6950 EGS stops
the attempt and suggests possible reasons.
If you do not enter a name or an IP address, the
default for the 6950 EGS is to connect to the host
defined as the default host using port 23
(localhost=default host).
