D-Link DKVM-IP1 Switch User Manual


 
30
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the DKVM-IP1 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 DKVM-IP1 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.
