Figure 6-2. Telnet Console
The IP-KVM switch firmware features a Telnet server that enables a user to connect
via a standard Telnet client. In case the Telnet program is using a VT 100, VT 102 or
VT 220 terminal or an according emulation, it is even possible to perform a console
redirection as long as the IP-KVM switch host machine is using a text mode screen
resolution.
Connecting to the IP-KVM switch is done as usual and as required by the Telnet client,
for instance in a UNIX shell:
telnet 192.168.1.22
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the IP-KVM switch. This
will prompt for username and password in order to log into the device. The credentials
that need to be entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface.
That means, the user management of the Telnet interface is entirely controlled with the
according functions of the web interface.
Once you have successfully logged into the IP-KVM switch a command line will be
presented and you can enter according management commands.
In general, the Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode
and the terminal mode. The command line mode is used to control or display some
parameters. In terminal mode the pass-through access to serial port 1 is activated (if
the serial settings were configured accordingly). All inputs are redirected to the device
on serial port 1 and its answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.
The following list shows the according command mode command syntax and their
usage.
