The External Tools Feature
The management server ships with an external tools feature that lets you:
• Browse the element - Access a host or a switch through its main Web page. The software
assumes the host or switch has a Web page at http://hsIPaddress, where hsIPaddress
is the IP address of the host or switch. To access the main Web page of the host or switch,
right-click the element in System Manager and select External Tools > Browse to 192.168.1.2,
where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host or switch.
• Telnet to the element - Access a host or a switch through the telnet utility. Telnet must be already
enabled on the element. The command uses telnet://hsIPaddress, where hsIPaddress
is the IP address of the host or switch. To telnet to a host or switch, right-click the element in
System Manager and select External Tools > Telnet to 192.168.1.2, where 192.168.1.2 is the IP
address of the host or switch.

another computer. You must select the CR option after you enter a user
name. To enter a password, if you leave the setting at CRLF, the software
enters a carriage return and a line feed when you click OK. As a result,
no value is entered for the password.
CR Provides a carriage return.
LF Provides a linefeed.
