6.3 Running Telnet
The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP address, lpd printers, and other parameters on your system. Use the following guidelines to run Telnet. You have the same functionality with the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser, as described in Chapter 3.
•Most often, you make selections from menus by toggling between one choice or another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/dis- abling an item.
•Press Enter , when not selecting an item. This will return you to a previous menu.
•If you do not make a menu selection for 2 minutes, you get a “Two Minute Warning” that within 2 more minutes your Telnet session will end. This ensures that one user does not leave a session idle for too long.
