NTI PRIMUX MATRIX KVM SWITCH VIA CAT 5
Telnet Connection
To use Telnet, the SWITCH must first be installed as described on pages 6-11.
The user may connect to the SWITCH using a Telnet client either 1) through HyperTerminal or 2) from a command prompt.
Before Telnet can be used, two conditions must be met:
1.
A terminal must first be connected to the SWITCH through the ETHERNET port (page 13).
2.
Telnet must be enabled. Telnet is disabled by default, and can be enabled by first connecting through RS232 (above)
and then using Main Menu item 6 (see "Network Configuration" on page 50). Telnet can also be enabled using the OSD
menu through a User Station connection.
Telnet will remain enabled even if power is cycled to the SWITCH. With Telnet enabled, once the SWITCH is setup it can
accessed remotely.
The Telnet menus and behavior are identical to controlling the SWITCH using the RS232 connection except that the firmware
upgrade Bootloader program cannot be accessed through Telnet.
Telnet via HyperTerminal
Open HyperTerminal and configure the connection to use TCP/IP. Enter the IP address of the SWITCH (default is 192.168.1.22)
and port number 23 (see Figure 44). Press "OK" to open the connection and be prompted to login to the main menu (page 44).
Telnet via Command Prompt
At a Linux command prompt , type the following commands to connect to the SWITCH:
telnet 192.168.1.22 (or substitute current IP address)
[username@host] $
Press <Enter> and continue on page 44 under "Login to the Main Menu".
At a Microsoft DOS command prompt , type the following command to connect to the SWITCH:
C:\>telnet (to open Telnet program)
Press <Enter>
The screen will return:
Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client
Escape Character is 'CTRL+]'
Microsoft Telnet>
