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
FOX 4G matrix switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the FOX 4G 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 FOX 4G matrix switcher as follows:
1.
At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press
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
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 FOX 4G 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 FOX 4G matrix switcher.
