Telnet Operation

Telnet and ASCII terminal cannot be active at the same time.

If a terminal is active, a Telnet session cannot be established.

To establish a Telnet session:

• Exit the terminal by selecting Exit in the Main menu.

If the auto-disconnect is ON, the terminal will be disconnected automatically after 15–30 minutes if no characters were sent (see ASCII Terminal Configuration in Appendix E).

Terminal management has priority over Telnet, if a Telnet session is active and a user logs on to the terminal, the Telnet session will be disconnected and the terminal will be the active form of management.

Parameters set to default values via Telnet will not erase the Host and Default Gateway parameters, to prevent a loss of connectivity.

Note	When configured to default values from the terminal, Host and Default Gateway
	parameters will be optionally erased. The user can configure to default parameters
	and then decide to keep/erase the Host and Default Gateway.

System Security

A user name and password is required to log on and initiate a Telnet session.

•The Terminal session exits to the password screen and the Telnet session disconnects after 15 to 30 minutes of inactivity.

Note
	The inactivity time-out feature may be deactivated via the ASCII Terminal
	Configuration window.
