Telnet Tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the ISS via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the ISS using the Open command. Once you are connected to the switcher,
you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the ISS as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press the keyboard Enterkey.
• If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed
until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISS.
• If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type the appropriate password and then press
the keyboard Enterkey.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are
two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person logged on as
an administrator has full access to all ISS switching capabilities and editing functions.
Users can select video and/or audio for output, select test patterns, set RGB and audio
mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By
default, the ISS is shipped with no password assigned.
Once you are logged in, the ISS returns either
Login Administrator or Login User.
No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the connection to the
ISS.
