Telnet allows you to input SIS commands to the ISM from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN. Access the DOS prompt and start Telnet as follows: 1. Click on Start > Run. 2. At the Open prompt, type command. 3. Click on the OK button. 4. At the DOS prompt, type telnet and press [Enter]. The computer returns a display similar to figure A-3. Microsoft (R) windows 2000 (TM) Version 5.
Escape character and Esc key When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’. Many SIS commands include the keyboard Esc key. Consequently, some confusion may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key. The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the Ctrl key and the ] key pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the connection to the ISM intact. The Escape key is the Esc key on the computer keyboard.
