REMOTE TELNET SESSION
Telnet can be used to connect to and command the switch. Before
connecting and starting a Telnet Session, first connect the switch in
accordance with the section entitled “Remote Ethernet Connections”.
Once the network and security settings have been configured, the unit is
ready for Telnet users to connect using a Telnet client.
Note that the default port for Telnet on this unit is 10001.
Telnet in Windows XP
Telnet in Windows XP can be done either through HyperTerminal, the
command line, or any other 3
rd
party software that supports Telnet (such
as PuTTY). When using the command line, the command format is:
telnet <ip address or host name> 10001
Telnet in Windows Vista/7/8
In versions of Windows after Windows XP, HyperTerminal has been
removed and the command line Telnet client has been disabled. To use
Telnet in these versions of Windows, either a 3
rd
party software solution
that supports Telnet can be used (such as PuTTY), or the Telnet client
can be enabled for the command line.
To enable the Telnet client for command line use, open the Control
Panel. Select “Programs” if in “Category” view. In either view, select
“Programs and Features”. There will be an option to “Turn Windows
features on or off” on the left. After clicking this, a dialog box will pop up
with a list of features. Find “Telnet Client” in the list, check the box for
that option, and press the “OK” button. Windows will take a few
moments to configure itself, but once this is complete, the Telnet
Command will be available through the command line.
The Telnet Command through the command line is the same as it was
in Windows XP.
Telnet in Linux/Mac OS X
Telnet is commonly built into distributions of Linux and Mac OS X, or is
readily available through a package manager or appropriate binary
distribution. Often, Telnet Sessions are accomplished through the
terminal. For example, in Ubuntu and Mac OS X, Telnet Sessions can
be started with the command:
telnet <ip address or host name> 10001
Telnet Session
The default port for Telnet on this unit is 10001. Once connected, there
will be no prompt and the unit will immediately be ready for command
entry and status. See the Remote Control Commands in Table 2.
