Telneting to Other Computers on the Network
Telnet is a TCP/IP application protocol that allows you to access a remote computer system (e.g., a UNIX or SUN workstation) as though you were attached locally via a serial terminal. As long as you have a user account on the target system and the necessary user privilege, you can execute any text command.
If you require frequent access to a particular workstation, you may want to include it in your network map as an IP Node.
To telnet into a workstation using your network map:
1.Select the appropriate IP node from the network map with your mouse.
2.Open the Tools menu under the main EliteView window and click on Telnet.
3.Log into the remote workstation.
