Usage Guidelines
Only VT100 emulation is supported.
Any workstation with a Telnet facility should be able to communicate with the switch over a TCP/IP
network.
You need to conÞgure the switch IP parameters.
You can press the escape character [Ctrl] + ] (hexadecimal 0x1d) to get out of the Telnet session.
Up to eight active Telnet sessions can access the switch concurrently. If idletimeouts are enabled, the
Telnet connection will time out after 20 minutes of inactivity. If a connection to a Telnet session is lost
inadvertently, the switch terminates the session within two hours.
Before you can start a Telnet session, you need to conÞgure the switch IP parameters. To open a Telnet
connection, you must specify the host IP address or the host name of the device you wish to manage.
Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet facility if you are unsure of how to do this.
Use of the hostname parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
