Using Telnet From the Management Workstation

The Telnet option enables you to start a Telnet application from within the RAS

Management Tool. To use the Telnet option, click on the maximized server icon using

the right mouse button to display the Server Characteristics and Properties menu. The

Server Characteristics and Properties menu is shown in Figure 5-19

Choose Telnet... to start the Telnet application. The AWAN access server firmware

version is displayed and then the Local> prompt appears indicating that you are

connected to the AWAN access server.

The Telnet application is defined as telnet in the C:\WINDOWS\RASMGMT.INI file. If

your Telnet application is not called telnet (for example, Trumpet Winsock uses telw

instead of telnet), you must modify the C:\WINDOWS\RASMGMT.INI file. To define

your Telnet application, enter the following line under Options in the

C:\WINDOWS\RASMGMT.INI file:

telnet-application

is the name of your Telnet application.

Note. TCP port 23 is used for inbound Telnet sessions for system administration and 6530

gateway sessions. If TCP port 23 is configured for VT-to-6530 sessions, the ability to Telnet into

the AWAN access server is disabled. For more information, refer to Section 10, Configuring the

6530 Gateway Feature.
