terminal or an according emulation, it is even possible to perform a console redirection as long as the PS/2 IP-KVM switch host machine is using a text mode screen resolution.

Connecting to the PS/2 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 PS/2 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 PS/2 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.
