Configuring the Telnet Server
This procedure describes how to enable and disable the Telnet server on
the switch. You might disable the server to prevent individuals from
managing the switch with a Telnet application or if you intend to use the
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.
This procedure also explains how to toggle the Telnet server on the switch
so that is adds a NULL character after each CR. Some Telnet clients
require the character in order to correctly display the information from the
Telnet server.
To enable or disable the Telnet server or to set the Telnet NULL character
parameter, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 1 on page 32.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 3 to select Console
(Serial/Telnet) Configuration.
The Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu is shown in Figure 7
on page 45.
3. To enable or disable the Telnet server, from the Console (Serial/
Telnet) Configuration menu type 4 to toggle Telnet Server between
Enabled and Disabled. The default is enabled.
Note
Disable Telnet access if you are using the SSH (Secure Shell)
feature. (The SSH feature is not available in all versions of the
AT-S63 Management Software.)
4. To configure the Telnet NULL character parameter, type 5 to toggle
Telnet insert NULL between On and Off. When Off, the default setting,
the Telnet server does not send a NULL character after each CR.
When On, the server does send the character.
A change to the status of the Telnet server or the Telnet NULL
character parameter is immediately implemented on the switch.
5. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
