Single port KVM over IP switch
Connecting to the IP-KVM switch is done as usual and as required by the Telnet client, for
instance in a UNIX shell:
telnet 192.168.1.22
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the IP-KVM switch. This will
prompt for username and password in order to log into the device. The credentials that need
to be entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface. That means, the
user management of the Telnet interface is entirely controlled with the according functions of
the web interface.
Once you have successfully logged into the IP-KVM switch a command line will be presented
and you can enter according management commands.
In general, the Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode and
the terminal mode. The command line mode is used to control or display some parameters.
In terminal mode the pass-through access to serial port 1 is activated (if the serial settings
were made accordingly). All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port 1 and its
answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.
The following list shows the according command mode command syntax and their usage.
help
Displays the list of possible commands
cls
Clears the screen
logout
Exits the current session and disconnects from the client
version
Displays the release information
power [on|off [short|long]]
The host is powered on or off. If no new power state is given, the current state will be
displayed. The given attribute (either short or long) will determine the ATX duration. The
default value is short.
reset [host|card]
Resets the given target, the host system or the IP-KVM switch card. If no reset target is
given it defaults to “ host ” . Note that resetting the IP-KVM switch results in disconnecting
every client. This includes also the client the reset command was sent from.
terminal
Starts the terminal passthrough mode for serial port 1. The key sequence esc exit
switches back to the command mode. The command has an optional parameter (1 or 2)
to select the desired serial port for passthrough access.
