Local echo

Once connected to the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher, by default, Telnet
does not display your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are typed in blindly
and only the SIS responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to
show keystrokes, at the Telnet prompt, type set local_echo and then press [Enter]
before you open the connection to the switcher.
With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the switcher's responses are displayed
on the same line. For example: 1*1!In1 Out1 All, where 1*1! is the SIS command
and In1 Out1 All is the response.
With local echo turned on, all keystrokes are displayed, even those that should be
masked, such as the password entry. For example, when entering a password with
local echo turned on, you will see a display such as a*d*m*i*n*, where admin is the
keyed in password and ***** is the masked response.
Local echo can be turned off by typing unset local_echo and then pressing [Enter] at
the Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus
switcher and need to access the Telnet prompt to turn local echo off, type the
Escape character ( +

Set carriage return-line feed

Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no
carriage return) to the connected switcher when you press the
correct setting for SIS communication with the switcher. The Telnet set crlf
command forces Telnet to transmit carriage return and line feed characters when
is pressed, but if crlf is set, the SIS link with the switcher will not function
Enter
properly.

Close

To close the link to the switcher, access the Telnet prompt by typing the Escape
character ( + ). At the Telnet prompt, type close and then press [Enter].
