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 b y toggling between
one choice or another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/dis-
abling an item.
Press , 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.
