User Guidelines

The Telnet software supports special Telnet commands in the form of Telnet sequences that map generic terminal control functions to operating system-specific functions. To issue a special Telnet command, enter Esc and then a command character. If you want to login to host on the out-of-band port, use the out-of-band IP address format: oob/ip-address.
