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
ISS via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the ISS 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 ISS as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press the
keyboard Enterkey.
If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed
until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISS.
If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type the appropriate password and then
press the keyboard Enterkey.
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 ISS 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 ISS is shipped with
no password assigned.
