Telnet - Digi PortServer/8 User Manual

Syntax: hostname|hostip [port#]

telnet

The telnet command is used to log you into a remote system using telnet protocol. Once you are
connected via telnet, you can escape back to PortServer command mode by typing your telnet
escape character, followed by a carriage return. You may also type your telnet escape character
followed by a digit to switch to an alternate telnet session.
(Also see Multiple Sessions on page 98.)
Use the format telnet nodename port#+2000 to telnet to a device on a specific port of the
PortServer unit. Nodename is the PortServer's node name. By Digi International's convention,
2000 is added to the port number; to reference a device on port 8, you would use the value 2008.
See PortServer Port Numbers on page 101 for a more detailed explanation.
