Single port KVM over IP switch

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 made 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.

help

Displays the list of possible commands

cls

Clears the screen

logout

Exits the current session and disconnects from the client

version

Displays the release information

power [onoff [shortlong]]

The host is powered on or off. If no new power state is given, the current state will be displayed. The given attribute (either short or long) will determine the ATX duration. The default value is short.

reset [hostcard]

Resets the given target, the host system or the IP-KVM switch card. If no reset target is given it defaults to “ host ” . Note that resetting the IP-KVM switch results in disconnecting every client. This includes also the client the reset command was sent from.

terminal

Starts the terminal passthrough mode for serial port 1. The key sequence esc exit switches back to the command mode. The command has an optional parameter (1 or 2) to select the desired serial port for passthrough access.
