Telnet tips
It is not the intention of this guide to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the DVS 510 Series via
Telnet.
Connecting to the DVS (Open command)
Use the Open command to connect the computer to the DVS 510 scale. After the computer
and scaler are connected, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you
were using the RS-232 or RS-422 link.
Connect the computer to the DVS as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, enter open IP address.
• If the scaler is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed until
you disconnect from the DVS.
• If the scaler is password protected, Telnet displays a password prompt.
2. If necessary, enter the password at the prompt.
Connection to the scaler via Ethernet can be password protected. There are two levels of
password: administrator and user.
• Administrator: A person logged on as an administrator has full access to all DVS
scaling capabilities and editing functions.
• User: Users can select test patterns, mute or unmute the output, select a blue
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the scaler
is delivered with both passwords set to “carriage return.”
When you are logged in, the scaler returns either Login Administrator or Login
User. No further prompts are displayed until you disconnect from the DVS 510.
Escape character and Esc key
Many SIS commands include the keyboard <Esc> key. Consequently, some confusion may
exist between the Escape character and the <Esc> key.
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is <Ctrl+]>. This
means that the Telnet Escape character is a key combination: the <Ctrl> key and the <]>
key pressed simultaneously. Pressing these keys displays the Telnet prompt while leaving the
connection to the DVS intact.
