Telnet Tips

It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the DMS matrix
switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the DMS matrix switcher using the Open command. Once you are connected to
the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you were using the
RS-232 link.
Connect to the DMS matrix switcher as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press <Enter>.
If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed until
you break or disconnect the connection to the matrix switcher.
If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press <Enter>.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are
two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person logged on as an
administrator has full access to all matrix switcher switching capabilities and editing
functions. Users can create ties, set mutes, and view all settings with the exception
of passwords. By default, the DMS matrix switcher ships with both passwords set to
{carriage return}.
Once you are logged in, the switcher returns either Login Administrator or
Login User. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the
connection to the DMS matrix switcher.
