110 DSView Installer/User Guide
Appendix C: Telnet Application Operations
The DSView management software ships bundled with a built-in proprietary Telnet application
that provides features unavailable in many other Telnet application programs. These features
include configurable session properties tailored for each device, and configurable user preferences
for all sessions.
Additionally, the DSView management software Telnet application offers a separate History mode
to review session data, a choice of connection modes to a DS appliance, a scripting function for
automatic device login and a logging function for saving session data to a file.
You may use the DSView management software Telnet application to access any DS appliance that
supports Telnet application connections, as well as DS appliance ports.
If you do not specify a communications application for a device, the DSView management
software uses its Telnet application by default. See the installer/user guide for your DS appliance
for information about setting and changing the default application.
DSView management software Telnet application screen
The title bar at the top of the screen displays the name of the device to which you are connected. If
you are connected to a port on a device, the title bar displays the device name followed by the port
number and port name.
The status bar at the lower left corner of the screen indicates Connected when you are operating in
normal Terminal Emulation mode during a Telnet application session. When you are in the History
mode, the status bar indicates ESC to return to terminal mode. When you are logging, the status bar
indicates Logging or Logging Paused as appropriate.
The lower right corner of the status bar contains an icon that, when clicked, activates the console
application, bringing it to the foreground. With this feature, you may access the console tree view
without having to close the Telnet application session.
Each toolbar icon has a tooltip that appears when you rest the mouse pointer on the icon
without clicking.

You may view the current users connected to a CPS810 serial over IP network appliance or
CPS1610 serial over IP network appliance port via the Telnet application in a DSView
management software window, or you may view the current users connected to a DS appliance/
DSR switch or CPS appliance port in a DSWebview software window.
