Using a Telnet Console With the CMC
The managed system provides access between the CMC and the Telnet
console to enable you to turn on, turn off, or reset the managed system, and
access logs.
Up to four Telnet client systems and four SSH clients may connect at any
given time. The management station connection to the managed system
Telnet console requires management station terminal emulation software. For
