Telnet tips

It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the switcher via Telnet.

Open

Connect to the switcher using the Open command. Once you are connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you were using the RS-232 link.

Connect to the switcher as follows:

1.	At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press [Enter].
	If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed
	until you break or disconnect the connection to the switcher.
	If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2.	If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press [Enter].
	Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There
	are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person
	logged on as an administrator has full access to all switching capabilities and

editing functions. Users can select video, audio, or both for output, select test patterns, set audio or RS-232 mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the switcher ships with both passwords set to {carriage return}.

Once you are logged in, the switcher returns either Login Administrator or Login User. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the connection to the switcher.
