Telnet Settings - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

Telnet Settings

From here, you can configure and manage the Switch's Telnet protocol settings. The Telnet protocol is a
standard Internet protocol which enables terminals and applications to interface over the Internet with
remote hosts by providing Command Line Interface (CLI) communication using a virtual terminal
connection. This protocol provides the basic rules for making it possible to link a client to a command
interpreter. The Telnet service for the Switch is enabled by default. Please note that for secure
communication, it is better to use SSH over Telnet. To enable and configure SSH Settings, please refer to
SSH Settings on the next page.
