Telnet Operation
Telnet and ASCII terminal cannot be active at the same time.
If a terminal is active, a Telnet session cannot be established.
To establish a Telnet session:
1. Exit the terminal by selecting Exit in the Main menu.
If the auto-disconnect is ON, the terminal will be disconnected automatically
after 15 minutes if no characters were sent (see the ASCII terminal
Configuration Menu – Chapter 3).
Terminal management has priority over Telnet, if a Telnet session is active and
a user logs on to the terminal, the Telnet session will be disconnected and the
terminal will be the active form of management.
Parameters set to default values via Telnet will not erase the host and default
gateway parameters, to prevent a loss of connectivity.
When configured to default values from the terminal, host and default gateway
parameters will be erased.
System Security
A user name and password is required to log on and initiate a Telnet session.
The Terminal session exits to the password screen and the Telnet session
disconnects after 15 to 30 minutes of inactivity.
The inactivity time-out feature may be deactivated via the ASCII Terminal
Configuration window.
