Telnet Integration - Extreme Networks Ridgeline Guide Manual

For example, the dpsimages.zip file included the file
in the file:
3Com.xml
<imageIconsFileName>3comicons.gif</imageIconsFileName>
If individual devices do not require unique icons, this can be specified in the parent XML file (for the
device type) and can be left out of the XML files for individual devices of that type.

Telnet Integration

Ridgeline's third-party integration framework can be used to provide auto-login when a user (with the
appropriate role/permissions) connects to the device from the Ridgeline Telnet window.
Telnet integration involves adding some additional tags to the ATL XML file for the device or device
type. The following tags may be used to specify Telnet features:

CLI.LOGIN_PROMPT
CLI.PASSWORD_PROMP

CLI.MORE_PROMPT
The file provides an example of the prompts used for Telnet integration:
