Telnet tips
It is not the intention of this guide to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet,
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the DVS 510 Series
via Telnet.
Connecting to the DVS (Open command)
Use the Open command to connect the computer to the DVS 510 scale. After the computer
and scaler are connected, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you
were using the RS-232 or RS-422 link.
Connect the computer to the DVS as follows:
1.
At the
Telnet
prompt, enter
open
{
IP
address}
.
•
If the scaler is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed until you
disconnect from the DVS.
•
If the scaler is password protected, Telnet displays a password prompt.
2.
If necessary, enter the password at the prompt.
Connection to the scaler via Ethernet can be password protected. There are two levels
of password: administrator and user.
•
Administrator
— A person logged on as an administrator has full access to all
DVS scaling capabilities and editing functions.
•
User
— Users can select test patterns, mute or unmute the output, select a blue
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the scaler
is delivered with both passwords set to “carriage return.”
When you are logged in, the scaler returns either
Login
Administrator
or
Login
User
. No further prompts are displayed until you disconnect from the DVS 510.
Escape character and <Esc> key
Many SIS commands include the keyboard <Esc> key. Consequently, some confusion
may exist between the Escape character and the <Esc> key.
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is <
Ctrl
+
]
>.
This means that the Telnet Escape character is a key combination: the <
Ctrl
> key and
the <
]
> key pressed simultaneously. Pressing these keys displays the
Telnet
prompt
while leaving the connection to the DVS intact.
