You can also access the same functions over a
TELNET
interface.
Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a
TELNET
program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to
access and control the Switch. All of the screens are for the most
part identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a
TELNET
interface.
Console Usage Conventions
The console interface makes use of the following conventions:
1.
Items in
<
angle brackets
>
can be toggled on or off using the
space bar, excepting the entries on the Port Configuration
screen .
2.
Items in
[
square brackets
]
can be changed by typing in a
new value. You can use the backspace and delete keys to
erase characters behind and in front of the cursor.
3.
The up and down arrow keys, the left and right arrow keys,
the tab key and the backspace key, can be used to move
between selected items. It is recommended that you use the
tab key
and
backspace key

Items in UPPERCASE are commands. Moving the selection
to a command and pressing Enter will execute that
command, e.g. SAVE, EXIT, etc.
