You can also access the CLI through a Telnet session. To access the CLI remotely,
the management port must have an assigned IP address and remote access must be
enabled. You can log on to the switch using Telnet from a terminal that has access
to the BPS 2000.
To open a Telnet session from Device Manager, click on the Telnet icon on the
toolbar (Figure 15) or click Action > Telnet on the Device Manager toolbar.
