The DSView management software Telnet application has a login scripting function that enables

you to automatically log in to a device. A login script is built with a sequence of expect and send

strings, and initial transmission characters that work with them. To use a login script, you must

enable automatic login in a checkbox.

The first Initial character (that is, the first entry in the Initial character column) specifies what is

sent to the device as soon as the Telnet application session is established. This is selected from a list

containing the choices: None, CR (carriage return), CR+LF (carriage return and linefeed), ESC

(Escape) and CTRL+P (Control and P).

The first Expect string indicates what the device will send as its first prompt.

The first Send string indicates what the login script will send to the device after it receives the first

Expect string.

You may then build additional Expect and Send strings according to what the particular device will

prompt for and what will be sent in response.

To build a login script and enable/disable automatic login:

1. Select Options - Session Properties from the menu bar.

Click the Session Settings icon in the toolbar.

3. Enable or disable the Automate Login checkbox. The default value is disabled.

4. In the Initial Character list, select one option: CR (carriage return), CR+LF (carriage return and

linefeed), ESC (Escape), CTRL+P (Control+P sequence, 0 x 10 in hex) or None (no initial

transmission character).

5. In the Expect box, type the 1-32 alphanumeric character string that you expect from the device.

Spaces are allowed.

6. In the Send box, type the 0-32 alphanumeric character string that you wish to send in response

to the Expect string. Spaces are allowed, and a blank field is valid. A CR or CR+LF is

appended to the string, based on the New Line Mode - Outbound setting.

7. Repeat the Expect and Send entries as needed, to a maximum of four each.
