You can also access the same functions over a TELNET interface. Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a TELNET program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All of the screens are for the most part identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a TELNET interface.

Console Usage Conventions

The console interface makes use of the following conventions:

1.Items after a colon”:” are read-only values, displayed for information purposes. The cursor cannot be moved to these items.

2.Items in <angle brackets> can be toggled on or off using the space bar.

3.Items in [square brackets] can be changed by typing in a new value. You can use the backspace and delete keys to erase characters behind and in front of the cursor.

4.The up and down arrow keys, the left and right arrow keys, the tab key and the backspace key, can be used to move between selected items. It is recommended that you use the tab key and backspace key for moving around console.

5.Items in UPPERCASE are commands. Moving the selection to a command and pressing Enter will execute that command, e.g. SAVE, EXIT, etc.
