emulators wish to use a terminal emulator package such as:

• ip address of Console Server device is connected to

1. Set your terminal emulator to connect to the ip address of the Console Server and
set socket number for correct port.
2. If running from command line, run following command:
telnet 'ipaddress' 'socket num'
Example - telnet 192.65.121.4 10004
A Console Server login prompt will then be displayed.

3. At this prompt, enter your user name for the Console Server and press enter.
4. At the password prompt, enter your password for the Console Server and press
enter.
You will now be connected to the port and thus the connected device.
