3.4 Remote Console Logins
The MSS enables a TCP/IP user to conÞgure the server via a single Telnet
connection to the remote console port, designated as port 7000. Connections
to the console port cannot be disabled. This ensures that administrators will
always be able to log into the port.
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by
the MSSÕs IP address and the remote console port number.

3.5 Starting Outbound Connections
When logged into the MSS, users can make basic outgoing connections using
the methods on the following page. See the MSS Reference Manual on CD-
ROM for more information about incoming and outgoing connections.
NOTE: Outgoing connections cannot be made via the same method as
the incoming connection was made. In other words, if a user
Telnets into the MSS, he cannot Telnet back out.
3.5.1 Telnet
To start an outgoing Telnet session, type ÒTelnetÓ at the Local prompt,
followed by either the hostÕs name or its numeric IP address.
