3.4 Remote Console Logins
The MSS enables a TCP/IP user to conÞgure the server via a single Telnet connection to the remote console port, designated as port 7000. Connections to the console port cannot be disabled. This ensures that administrators will always be able to log into the port.
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by the MSSÕs IP address and the remote console port number.

3.5 Starting Outbound Connections
When logged into the MSS, users can make basic outgoing connections using the methods on the following page. See the MSS Reference Manual on CD- ROM for more information about incoming and outgoing connections.
NOTE: Outgoing connections cannot be made via the same method as the incoming connection was made. In other words, if a user Telnets into the MSS, he cannot Telnet back out.
3.5.1 Telnet
To start an outgoing Telnet session, type ÒTelnetÓ at the Local prompt, followed by either the hostÕs name or its numeric IP address.
