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
ISM via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the ISM using the Open command. Once you are connected to the
switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same way that you would if you
were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the ISM 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 ISM.
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 ISM switching capabilities
and editing functions. Users can select video and/or audio for output, select
test patterns, set RGB and audio mutes, select a blue screen, and view all
settings with the exception of passwords. By default, the ISM ships with both
passwords cleared (no password assigned).
Once you are logged in, the ISM returns either Login Administrator or Login
User. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the
connection to the ISM.
